1 John 2:6

²¹For you were called to this, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you^[+] an example, that you should follow his steps,

¹⁵For I have given you an example, that you should also do as I have done to you.

¹Be imitators of me, even as I also am of Christ.

⁶Whoever remains in him doesn’t sin. Whoever sins hasn’t seen him and doesn’t know him.

⁴Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch can’t bear fruit by itself unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain in me. ⁵I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me and I in him bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. ⁶If a man doesn’t remain in me, he is thrown out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burned.

²Walk in love, even as Christ also loved us and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling fragrance.

²⁹Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you will find rest for your souls.

⁶If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie and don’t tell the truth. ⁷But if we walk in the light as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin.

⁴One who says, “I know him,” and doesn’t keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth isn’t in him.

²⁸Now, little children, remain in him, that when he appears, we may have boldness and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
