1 John 2:1 in context
The whole interlinear chapter
1 John 1:10      1 John 2:2

First letter of John 2:1

My dear children [beloved young members of the family of faith – Greek teknion],
I am writing this so that you will not sin.
[Here John makes a pastoral aside to the third point introduced in the previous verse, see 1 John 1:10. Gr. teknion is a diminutive form of the usual word for children (Gr. teknon). Literally, John writes "children of mine," which reinforces that they are his beloved/dear children. The word is used seven times in this letter, see 1 John 2:1, 12, 28; 3:7, 18; 4:4; 5:21. The only use outside this letter is in John 13:33 where Jesus addresses the disciples with this loving word.]
But if anyone [nevertheless] sins, we have an advocate (an advocate; one who speaks on our behalf) with the Father, the righteous (faithful) Jesus the Anointed One (Messiah, Christ).
