¹⁴ I have written to you, fathers, because you know Him ^(A)who has been from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are ^(B)strong, and the ^(C)word of God remains in you, and ^(D)you have overcome the evil one.

²⁴ As for you, see that what you heard ^(A)from the beginning remains in you. If what you heard from the beginning remains in you, you also ^(B)will remain in the Son and in the Father.

²⁷ And as for you, the ^(A)anointing which you received from Him remains in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing ^(B)teaches you about all things, and is ^(C)true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, ^[a]you remain in Him.
