The Greek verb "γράφω" (graphō) suggests an ongoing action, emphasizing the continuous relevance of the message. John, as a spiritual father, is addressing his audience with pastoral care and authority, ensuring that the truths he imparts are both timeless and applicable to the believers' lives.little children The term "τεκνία" (teknia) is an affectionate term used by John to address the believers. It reflects a deep, familial bond and conveys a sense of endearment and spiritual kinship. Historically, this term underscores the early Christian community's understanding of themselves as a family united in Christ, with John as a guiding elder. It also highlights the innocence and dependency of believers on God's grace.because your sins have been forgiven The phrase "ἀφέωνται ὑμῖν αἱ ἁμαρτίαι" (apheōntai hymin hai hamartiai) speaks to the completed action of forgiveness. The perfect tense in Greek indicates that this forgiveness is a past action with ongoing effects. This assurance of forgiveness is central to the Christian faith, rooted in the sacrificial work of Christ. Historically, this reflects the early church's emphasis on the transformative power of Christ's atonement, which was a radical departure from the works-based righteousness prevalent in the religious systems of the time.through His name The phrase "διὰ τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ" (dia to onoma autou) signifies the authority and power inherent in the name of Jesus. In biblical times, a name was more than a label; it represented the essence and authority of a person. The use of "His name" underscores the belief that salvation and forgiveness are possible only through Jesus Christ. This reflects the early church's unwavering commitment to the exclusivity of Christ as the mediator between God and humanity, a cornerstone of conservative Christian doctrine.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/1_john/2.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(7) THE THINGS THEY MUST NOT LOVE IF THEY WALKED IN THE LIGHT (<a href="/context/1_john/2-12.htm" title="I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.">1John 2:12-17</a>).--The solemnity of the thoughts of <a href="/1_john/2-9.htm" title="He that said he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness even until now.">1John 2:9</a>; <a href="/1_john/2-11.htm" title="But he that hates his brother is in darkness, and walks in darkness, and knows not where he goes, because that darkness has blinded his eyes.">1John 2:11</a> is too much for the warm heart of the Apostle. He cannot bear even to seem to suggest that his "dear little children" are shrouded in the gloomy horrors of moral darkness, haunted by the faithful memories of their sins, and enticed hither and thither by the malevolent spirits of evil. He will warn them with the most tender and pitiful affection against the wicked one, the world, the flesh, the follies and vanities of the human heart; but first he will show them frankly what he thinks of them, what he hopes of them, the trust he places in them, the grounds which he takes for granted in writing to them.(12) I write unto you, little children.--The arrangement of these triplets should be prefaced by saying that the last "I write," in <a href="/1_john/2-13.htm" title="I write to you, fathers, because you have known him that is from the beginning.

So we get:-- . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/1_john/2.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verses 12-14. - Before passing on to the second thing which walking in the light excludes, viz. love of the world (verses 15-17), the apostle twice makes a threefold address, first stating why he writes γράφω, and secondly why he wrote ἔγραψα, to the three classes named. This suggests several questions. (1) What is the difference between "I write" (or, "am writing") and "I wrote" (or, "have written;" for this is a case where the English perfect may represent the Greek aorist)? Five answers are given. (a) The change is made for emphasis: "I write; I wrote; there is nothing more to be said." But in this case the past tense should come first: "I wrote; I write it again." Moreover, we should expect the perfect rather than the aorist, as in ο{ γέγραφα γέγραφα. (b) "I write" refers to what follows; "I wrote," to what precedes. And some have even tried to find out the three different portions in each part of the Epistle; e.g., "I write to you, little children" (<a href="/1_john/2-15.htm">1 John 2:15-17</a>); "to you, fathers" (<a href="/1_john/2-18.htm">1 John 2:18-27</a>); "to you, young men" (<a href="/1_john/2-28.htm">1 John 2:28-3:22</a>): "I wrote to you, children" (<a href="/1_john/1-5.htm">1 John 1:5-7</a>); "to you, fathers" (chapter 1:8-2:2); "to you, young men" (<a href="/1_john/2-3.htm">1 John 2:3-11</a>). But this is fanciful and very arbitrary; and in this case also the past tense should come first: "I have written thus far to you; again I proceed to write to you." . . . <a href="/commentaries/1_john/2-12.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>I am writing Γράφω (Graphō) Verb - Present Indicative Active - 1st Person Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_1125.htm">Strong's 1125: </a> A primary verb; to 'grave', especially to write; figuratively, to describe. to you, ὑμῖν (hymin) Personal / Possessive Pronoun - Dative 2nd Person Plural <a href="/greek/strongs_4771.htm">Strong's 4771: </a> You.
