2 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

¹² I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.

¹³ I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father.

¹⁸ Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

²⁸ And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

⁷ Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

¹⁸ My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.

⁴ Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

²¹ Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
