9He who says that he is in the light, and has hate in his heart for his brother, is still in the dark.
10He who has love for his brother is in the light, and there is no cause of error in him.
11But he who has hate for his brother is in the dark, walking in the dark with no knowledge of where he is going, unable to see because of the dark.
12I am writing to you, my children, because you have forgiveness of sins through his name.
13I am writing to you, fathers, because you have knowledge of him who was from the first. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the Evil One. I have sent a letter to you, children, because you have knowledge of the Father.
14I have sent a letter to you, fathers, because you have knowledge of him who was from the first. I have sent a letter to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God is in you, and because you have overcome the Evil One.
15Have no love for the world or for the things which are in the world. If any man has love for the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
