I have sent a letter to you, fathers, because you have knowledge of him who was from the first. I have sent a letter to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God is in you, and because you have overcome the Evil One.

ὅτι hoti “because”ὅτι hoti “because”

Because everything in the world, the desire of the flesh, the desire of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father but of the world.

ὅτι hoti “because”

I have not sent you this letter because you have no knowledge of what is true, but because you have knowledge, and because that which is false has nothing in common with that which is true.

ὅτι hoti “because”ὅτι hoti “because”

See what great love the Father has given us in naming us the children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not see who we are, because it did not see who he was.

ὅτι hoti “because”

My loved ones, now we are children of God, and at present it is not clear what we are to be. We are certain that at his revelation we will be like him; for we will see him as he is.

ὅτι hoti “for”

The sinner is a child of the Evil One; for the Evil One has been a sinner from the first. And the Son of God was seen on earth so that he might put an end to the works of the Evil One.

ὅτι hoti “because”

Anyone who is a child of God does no sin, because he still has God's seed in him; he is not able to be a sinner, because God is his Father.

ὅτι hoti “because”ὅτι hoti “because”

Because this is the word which was given to you from the first, that we are to have love for one another;

ὅτι hoti “For”

Not being of the Evil One like Cain, who put his brother to death. And why did he put him to death? Because his works were evil and his brother's works were good.

ὅτι hoti “Because”

We are conscious that we have come out of death into life because of our love for the brothers. He who has no love is still in death.

ὅτι hoti “because”

In this we see what love is, because he gave his life for us; and it is right for us to give our lives for the brothers.

ὅτι hoti “because”

And he gives us all our requests, because we keep his laws and do the things which are pleasing in his eyes.

ὅτι hoti “because”

My loved ones, do not put your faith in every spirit, but put them to the test, to see if they are from God: because a great number of false prophets have gone out into the world.

ὅτι hoti “because”

You are of God, my little children, and you have overcome them because he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

ὅτι hoti “because”

My loved ones, let us have love for one another: because love is of God, and everyone who has love is a child of God and has knowledge of God.

ὅτι hoti “because”

He who has no love has no knowledge of God, because God is love.

ὅτι hoti “because”

And his Spirit which he has given us is the witness that we are in him and he is in us.

ὅτι hoti “because”

There is no fear in love: true love has no room for fear, because where fear is, there is pain; and he who is not free from fear is not complete in love.

ὅτι hoti “because”

We have the power of loving, because he first had love for us.

ὅτι hoti “because”

Anything which comes from God is able to overcome the world: and the power by which we have overcome the world is our faith.

ὅτι hoti “For”

This is he who came by water and by blood, Jesus Christ; not by water only but by water and by blood.

ὅτι hoti “because”

And the Spirit is the witness, because the Spirit is true.

ὅτι hoti “For”

If we take the witness of men to be true, the witness of God is greater: because this is the witness which God has given about his Son.

ὅτι hoti “For”

He who has faith in the Son of God has the witness in himself: he who has not faith in God makes him false, because he has not faith in the witness which God has given about his Son.
