12I am writing to you, my children, because you have forgiveness of sins through his name.

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.

17And the world and its desires is coming to an end: but he who does God's pleasure is living for ever.
