The writer’s reasons for writing to the little children, the fathers and the young men
자녀들과 아비들과 청년들에게 쓰는 까닭을 밝힌 글쓴이의 말
1 John 2:12–14: The writer (“I”) says, “I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake. I write to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, little children, because you know the Father. I have written to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God remains in you, and you have overcome the evil one.” The Korean Revised Version sets the words to the little children who know the Father (아이들아 내가 너희에게 쓴 것은 너희가 아버지를 알았음이요) at the opening of 2:14, where WEB has them at the end of 2:13.
