12I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name`s sake. 13I write to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, little children, because you know the Father. 14I have written to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God remains in you, and you have overcome the evil one. 15Don`t love the world, neither the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father`s love isn`t in him. 16For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, isn`t the Father`s, but is the world`s. 17The world is passing away with its lusts, but he who does God`s will remains forever.
