I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake. I write unto you, fathers because you 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 have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning, I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and he have overcome the wicked one. 
1 John 2:12-14
