1 John 2:13

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.

If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;

Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him. many ancient copies add these words at the beginning of verse, and turning to his disciples, he said

Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.

We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not. is born: Gr. has been born

For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. is born: Gr. has been born Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.

And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
