“I am writing to you, little children, — because your sins are forgiven for his name’s sake”
– 1 John 2:12

The scripture for our study: 1 John 2:12-14

I am writing to you, little children, — because your sins are forgiven for his name’s sake.
I am writing to you, fathers, — because you know him who is from the beginning.
I am writing to you, young men, — because you have overcome the evil one.
I write to you, children, — because you know the Father.
I write to you, fathers, — because you know him who is from the beginning.
I write to you, young men, — because you are strong,
and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one.

Let my cry come before you, O Lord;
give me understanding according to your word!
Let my plea come before you;
deliver me according to your word.
My lips will pour forth praise,
for you teach me your statutes.
My tongue will sing of your word,
for all your commandments are right.
Let your hand be ready to help me,
for I have chosen your precepts.
I long for your salvation, O Lord,
and your law is my delight.
Let my soul live and praise you,
and let your rules help me.
I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek your servant,
for I do not forget your commandments.
