  • 2:6 he that saith he abideth in him ought himself also to walk even as he walked. 5
  • 2:13 I write unto you, fathers, because ye know him who is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the evil one. I have written unto you, little children, because ye know the Father. 5
  • 2:20 And ye have an anointing from the Holy One, and ye know all things. 5
  • 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you that ye may not sin. And if any man sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: 4

  • 2:14 I have written unto you, fathers, because ye know him who is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the evil one. 4
  • 2:27 And as for you, the anointing which ye received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any one teach you; but as his anointing teacheth you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, ye abide in him. 4
  • 2:2 and he is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the whole world. 3
  • 2:12 I write unto you, [my] little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake. 3
  • 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the vainglory of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 3
  • 2:17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. 2
  • 2:29 If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one also that doeth righteousness is begotten of him. 2
  • 2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him; 1
  • 2:5 but whoso keepeth his word, in him verily hath the love of God been perfected. Hereby we know that we are in him: 1
  • 2:19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us: but [they went out], that they might be made manifest that they all are not of us. 1
  • 2:21 I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and because no lie is of the truth. 1
  • 2:22 Who is the liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, [even] he that denieth the Father and the Son. 1
  • 2:23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that confesseth the Son hath the Father also. 1
  • 2:24 As for you, let that abide in you which ye heard from the beginning. If that which ye heard from the beginning abide in you, ye also shall abide in the Son, and in the Father. 1
  • 2:25 And this is the promise which he promised us, [even] the life eternal. 1
  • 2:26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that would lead you astray. 1
