I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.
13
I write to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, little children, because you know the Father.
14
I have written to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God remains in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
15
Don't love the world, neither the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father's love isn't in him.
16
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, isn't the Father's, but is the world's.
17
The world is passing away with its lusts, but he who does God's will remains forever.
18
Little children, these are the end times, and as you heard that the Anti-messiah is coming, even now many anti-messiahs have arisen. By this we know that it is the end times.
19
They went out from us, but they didn't belong to us; for if they had belonged to us, they would have continued with us. But they left, that they might be revealed that none of them belong to us.
20
You have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know the truth.
21
I have not written to you because you don't know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth.
22
Who is the liar but he who denies that Yeshua is the Messiah? This is the Anti-messiah, he who denies the Father and the Son.
