I write unto you, fathers, because you have known him who is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because you have conquered the wicked one. I have written unto you, little children, because you have known the Father.

I have written unto you, fathers, because you have known him from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one.

I have not written unto you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it, and that no lie is of the truth.

I have written these things unto you concerning those deceiving you.

I have written these things unto you, in order that you may know that you have eternal life; to those who believe on the name of the Son of God.
