12 I am writing to you, dear children, because your sins have been forgiven on account of his name.13 I am writing to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. 14 I write to you, dear children, because you know the Father. I write to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God lives in you, and you have overcome the evil one.

12 孩子们哪，我写信给你们，因为你们的罪孽藉着基督的名已经被赦免了；13 父老们哪，我写信给你们，因为你们已经认识了从太初就有的那一位；年轻人哪，我写信给你们，因为你们已经胜过了那恶者。14 孩子们哪，我写了信给你们， 因为你们已经认识了父；父老们哪，我写了信给你们，因为你们已经认识了从太初就有的那一位；年轻人哪，我写了信给你们，因为你们是强壮的，神的话语住在你们里面， 你们也已经胜过了那恶者。
