12 Eu vos escrevo, filhinhos, porque pelo nome dele os vossos pecados são perdoados.

13 Eu vos escrevo, pais, porque conheceis aquele que é desde o princípio. Eu vos escrevo, jovens, porque vencestes o maligno. Eu vos escrevo, filhinhos, porque conheceis o Pai.

14 Eu vos escrevi, pais, porque conheceis aquele que é desde o princípio. Eu vos escrevi, jovens, porque sois fortes, a palavra de Deus está em vós, e vencestes o maligno.

15 Não ameis o mundo, nem as coisas que há no mundo. Se alguém ama o mundo, o amor do Pai não está nele.

16 Pois tudo o que há no mundo, a cobiça da carne, a cobiça dos olhos, e a ostentação da vida, não é do Pai, mas do mundo.
