Wesley's Notes for 1 John 2:12


2:12 I have written to you, beloved children - Thus St. John bespeaks all to whom he writes. But from the thirteenth to #1John 2:13 |- 27 the twentyseventh verse, he divides them particularly into fathers, young men, and little children. Because your sins are forgiven you - As if he had said, This is the sum of what I have now written. He then proceeds to other things, which are built upon this foundation.
