I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from 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.

I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him, who 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.

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

Who is the liar, but he that denieth that Jesus is the Messiah? This man is the antichrist, who denieth the Father and the Son.

My dear children, let no man deceive you: he who doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous:

No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abideth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

If we receive the testimony of man, the testimony of God is stronger: for this is the testimony of God which he testified concerning his Son.
