1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. ^aAnd if any man sin, we have an ^badvocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

  9 Wherefore, he is the firstfruits unto God, inasmuch as he shall make ^aintercession for all the children of men; and they that believe in him shall be saved.

  28 For he hath answered the ends of the law, and he claimeth all those who have faith in him; and they who have faith in him will ^acleave unto every good thing; wherefore he ^badvocateth the cause of the children of men; and he dwelleth eternally in the heavens.

  5 Lift up your hearts and be ^aglad, for I am in your ^bmidst, and am your ^cadvocate with the Father; and it is his good will to give you the ^dkingdom.
