1 John 2:12-15

12I’m writing to you, dear children, because your sins are forgiven through Christ.

13I’m writing to you, fathers, because you know Christ who has existed from the beginning. I’m writing to you, young people, because you have won the victory over the evil one.

14I’ve written to you, children, because you know the Father. I’ve written to you, fathers, because you know Christ, who has existed from the beginning. I’ve written to you, young people, because you are strong and God’s word lives in you. You have won the victory over the evil one.

15Don’t love the world and what it offers. Those who love the world don’t have the Father’s love in them.
