   (In the Order Believed Written)

1 - My little children (disciple, elder and apostle John is now an old man) I am writing these things to you so that you may not miss the mark, the goal. But if anyone does, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. 2 He is the propitiation [hilasmos - atonement, expiation-took on the penalty] (wage, result) for our sins [hamartia - missing the mark] (which penalty is in it.. the missing the mark, imperfection, which is not only imperfect, an abyss of potential even, but is this slow gehenna fade, entropy which “does not quit” but the end-aim (greek tel/end) is death - the debt he paid) and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

     3 And by this we know we have come to know him, if we do the things he says [entolé - instructs, orders, commands, instructions]. 4 Someone who says “I know him” but doesn’t follow after him is claiming a falsehood, and the truth is not {yet} in them. 5 But whoever keeps his words, in them truly, the love of God is being perfected. And by this - we can know we are abiding in him.
