A Poem from the Apostle John

I write to you, little children,

because your sins are forgiven you

for his name’s sake.

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 one.

I wrote to you, little children,

because you have known the Father.

I wrote to you, fathers,

because you have known him

who is from the beginning.

I wrote to you, young men,

because you are strong,

and the word of God abides in you,

and you have overcome the evil one.

1John 2:12-14
