1 John 2:12 in Context — 1 John 2

10 El que ama á su hermano, está en luz, y no hay tropiezo en él.

11 Mas el que aborrece á su hermano, está en tinieblas, y anda en tinieblas, y no sabe á donde va; porque las tinieblas le han cegado los ojos.

12 Os escribo á vosotros, hijitos, porque vuestros pecados os son perdonados por su nombre.

13 Os escribo á vosotros, padres, porque habéis conocido á aquel que es desde el principio. Os escribo á vosotros, mancebos, porque habéis vencido al maligno. Os escribo á vosotros, hijitos, porque habéis conocido al Padre.

14 Os he escrito á vosotros, padres, porque habéis conocido al que es desde el principio. Os he escrito á vosotros, mancebos, porque sois fuertes, y la palabra de Dios mora en vosotros, y habéis vencido al maligno.
