12I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.

13I write to you, fathers, because you have known him, who is from the start. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one.

14I write to you, babes, because you have known the Father. I write to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God remains in you, and you have overcome the evil one.

15Love not the world, nor the things which are in the world. If any man love the world, the charity of the Father is not in him.

16For all that is in the world, is the concupiscence of the flesh, and the concupiscence of the eyes, and the pride of life, which is not of the Father, but is of the world.

17And the world passeth away, and the concupiscence thereof: but the one who does the will of God, remains forever.

10Say you among the Gentiles, the Lord has reigned. For he has corrected the world, which shall not be moved: he will judge the people with righteousness.

36And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser; she was far advanced in years, and had lived with her husband seven years from her virginity.

37And she was a widow until fourscore and four years; who departed not from the temple, by fastings and prayers serving night and day.

38Now she, at the same hour, coming in, confessed to the Lord; and spoke of him to all that looked for the rescue of Israel.

39And after they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their city Nazareth.

40And the child grew, and waxed strong, full of wisdom; and the grace of God was in him.
