# Today is Friday, 2025.01.17 ## Who do the "fathers" represent? ### Passage I am writing to you, little children, because your sins have been forgiven through His name. I am writing to you, fathers, because you know Him who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I have written to you, children, because you know the Father. I have written to you, fathers, because you know Him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one. {1 John 2.12-14 (BSB)} ![[250117.1570185491.png]] --- ###### NOTE: There is no connection between the photo and the scripture or question ###### The Holy Bible, Berean Standard Bible (https://bereanbible.com), (BSB) is produced in cooperation with Bible Hub (https://biblehub.com), Discovery Bible (https://discoverybible.com), OpenBible.com (https://openbible.com), and the Berean Bible Translation Committee.
