12 I write to you, little children, because the sins have been forgiven you through his name;

13 I write to you, fathers, because you have known him who is from the beginning; I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil. I write to you, little youths, because you have known the Father:

14 I did write to you, fathers, because you have known him who is from the beginning; I did write to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God in you does remain, and you have overcome the evil.

15 Love not you the world, nor the things in the world; if any one does love the world, the love of the Father is not in him,
