I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you through His name.

I write to you, fathers, because you have known Him from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome evil. I write to you, little children, because you have known the Father.

Little children, let no one lead you astray. He who produces righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous.

My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.

You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

Little children, keep yourselves away from idols. Amen.

Little children, I shall be with you a little while longer. You will seek Me; and as I said to the Jews, Where I am going, you are not able to come, so now I say to you.

Then Jesus said to them, Children, you do not have any fish, do you? They answered Him, No.

I do not write these things to shame you, but as my beloved children I admonish you.

For though you might have countless instructors in Christ, yet you do not have many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.

My little children, for whom I travail again until Christ is formed in you,

that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.

And these things we write to you that your joy may be full.

These things I write to you, hoping to come to you shortly;

Tremble, and sin not; commune within your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.

Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man that the righteous should not sin, and he does not sin, he shall live life because he took warning; and you have delivered your soul.

Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, you have been made well. Sin no more, that a worse thing not come upon you.

She said, No one, Lord. And Jesus said to her, Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.

What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?

Let it not be! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?

What then? Shall we sin because we are not under Law but under grace? Let it not be!

Awake to righteousness, and do not sin; for some do not have the knowledge of God. I speak to your shame.

Be angry, but do not sin: do not let the sun go down on your wrath,

For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men,

looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,

but as He who called you is holy, you also become holy in all conduct,

And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one's work, behave yourselves throughout the time of your sojourning in fear;

but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.

Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the flesh has been released from sin,

For we have spent enough of our past lifetime in doing the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in licentiousness, lusts, drunkenness, carousing, drinking parties, and abominable idolatries.

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His Word is not in us.

Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, but rather is also raised, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.

For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus,

But He, because He continues forever, has an unchangeable priesthood.

Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He lives forever to make intercession for them.

For Christ has not entered the holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true, but into Heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf;

All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.

Then Jesus answered and said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son is not able to do anything from Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does likewise.

For as the Father raises the dead and gives life, even so the Son gives life to whom He wills.

that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who has sent Him.

Truly, truly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live.

Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him.

As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep.

Jesus said to him, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.

Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.

With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the image of God.

If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone who produces righteousness is born of Him.

And you know that He was manifested in order to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin.

Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King comes to you! He is righteous and having salvation, lowly, and riding on an ass, even on a colt, the foal of an ass.

For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

For such a High Priest was fitting for us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and has become higher than the heavens;

Who committed no sin, nor was deceit found in His mouth;

For Christ also suffered for sins once for all, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit,
