1 John 2:12-14

12 I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for His name's sake.

13 I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known Him that isŒfrom the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father.

14 I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known Him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the Word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.
