1 JOHN 2:13 — KING JAMES VERSION 2 0
“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.”
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 — the fathers' knowledge (ginōskō) of the eternal Christ establishes their maturity. The young men's victory (nikao) over the evil one demonstrates power for spiritual combat. The three groups (little children, fathers, young men) represent developmental stages.
