1 John 2

Introduction

1	He comforts them against the sins of infirmity.
3	Rightly to know God is to keep his commandments;
9	to love our brethren;
15	and not to love the world.
18	We must beware of seducers;
20	from whose deceits the godly are safe, preserved by perseverance in faith, and holiness of life.
