a new verse

About 3 years ago I was serendipitously turning through my Bible and I found a verse.  The power of it got my attention.  I read it again.  I looked for a pen and then underlined a portion of it.  Then I put brackets around a phrase.  The power of it was in the paradoxical truth within. Every time I picked up a different Bible, I turned to it and highlighted it.  When I get a new Bible, I go to this place and underline it. Here it is.
1 John 2:1    My little children, I am writing you these things so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father--Jesus Christ the righteous one. 2 He himself is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours, but also for those of the whole world.

Praise God!
