Little children, guard yourselves from idols.

My children – I am again undergoing birth pains until Christ is formed in you!

I am writing to you, little children, that your sins have been forgiven because of his name.

Little children, let us not love with word or with tongue but in deed and truth.

Little children, let no one deceive you: The one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as Jesus is righteous.

And now, little children, remain in him, so that when he appears we may have confidence and not shrink away from him in shame when he comes back.

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

Children, I am still with you for a little while. You will look for me, and just as I said to the Jewish religious leaders, ‘Where I am going you cannot come,’ now I tell you the same.
