1Jo 2:14 | NETfull | STEP | I have written to you, children, that you have known the Father. I have written to you, fathers, that you have known him who has been from the beginning. I have written to you, young people, that you are strong, and the word of God resides in you, and you have conquered the evil one.

1 John 2:14

14 I have written to you, children, that ^{▼▼ See the note on “that” in v. 12.} you have known the Father. ^{▼▼ The versification of vv. 13 and 14 (so also NAB, NRSV, NLT) follows that of the NA²⁷ and UBS⁴ editions of the Greek text. Some English translations, however, break the verses between the sentence addressed to children and the sentence addressed to fathers (KJV, NKJV, NASB, NIV). The same material has been translated in each case; the only difference is the versification of that material.} I have written to you, fathers, that ^{▼▼ See the note on “that” in v. 12.} you have known him who has been from the beginning. I have written to you, young people, that ^{▼▼ See the note on “that” in v. 12.} you are strong, and the word of God resides in you, and you have conquered the evil one.
