I write unto you, fathers, because ye know him who is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the evil one. I have written unto you, little children, because ye know the Father.

I 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.

Γραφω προς εσας, πατερες, διοτι εγνωρισατε τον απ' αρχης. Γραφω προς εσας, νεανισκοι, διοτι ενικησατε τον πονηρον. Γραφω προς εσας, παιδια, διοτι εγνωρισατε τον Πατερα.

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.
