My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father--Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.
My dear children

1 John 3:18 Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.
1 John 4:4 You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them (false spirits), because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.
1 John 5:21 Dear children, keep yourselves from idols.
1 Thessalonians 2:11-12 For you know that we dealt with each of you as a father deals with his own children, encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy of God, who calls you into his kingdom and glory.
