I have written unto you, fathers, because ye know him who is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the evil one.

I 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.

Εγραψα προς εσας, πατερες, διοτι εγνωρισατε τον απ' αρχης. Εγραψα προς εσας, νεανισκοι, διοτι εισθε ισχυροι και ο λογος του Θεου μενει εν υμιν και ενικησατε τον πονηρον.

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 ye have overcome the wicked one.
