1 John 2:12–14

[12] I am writing to you, little children,

because your sins are forgiven for his name’s sake.

[13] I am writing to you, fathers,

because you know him who is from the beginning.

I am writing to you, young men,

because you have overcome the evil one.

I write to you, children,

because you know the Father.

[14] I write to you, fathers,

because you know him who is from the beginning.

I write to you, young men,

because you are strong,

and the word of God abides in you,

and you have overcome the evil one. (ESV)
