12 I am writing to you, little children, because you sins are forgiven you for his names sake.

13 I am writing to you, fathers, because you have come to know him who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have fully overcome the Evil One. I have written to you, little children, because you have learned to know the father.

14 I have written to you, fathers, because you have learned to know him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God is abiding in you, and you have fully overcome the Evil One.

15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
