Little children, I write that ye sin not; if so
To Jesus Christ the righteous, your advocate, go;
We know Him if we obey His words in our lives;
Whoever keeps them not, yet claims to know Him, lies.
No new commandment do I write: love; do not hate;
Otherwise darkness, not light, describes your true state.
I write to you, fathers, young men, little children,
Since you're strong, knowing God, o'ercoming, and forgiv'n.
Love not the passing world's lustful, greedy, proud ways;
Antichrists, denying Jesus, come these last days.
You've been taught by God's anointing; be abiding;
He's righteous, and those who do right are born of Him.
