1 John 4:4

4:4 You are from God, little children, and have conquered them, ¹  because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

1 John 2:14

2:14 I have written to you, children, that ²  you have known the Father. ³  I have written to you, fathers, that ⁴  you have known him who has been from the beginning. I have written to you, young people, that ⁵  you are strong, and the word of God resides in you, and you have conquered the evil one.

[4:4]  ¹ sn Them refers to the secessionist opponents, called “false prophets” in 4:1 (compare 2:19).

[2:14]  ² tn See the note on “that” in v. 12.

[2:14]  ³ sn The versification of vv. 13 and 14 (so also NAB, NRSV, NLT) follows that of the NA²⁷ and UBS⁴ editions of the Greek text. Some English translations, however, break the verses between the sentence addressed to children and the sentence addressed to fathers (KJV, NKJV, NASB, NIV). The same material has been translated in each case; the only difference is the versification of that material.
