I am writing to you This phrase indicates the personal and direct nature of the Apostle John's communication. 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 because your sins have been forgiven through His name (12) I write unto you, little children.--The arrangement of these triplets should be prefaced by saying that the last "I write," in 1John 2:13, is, according to the best reading, "I wrote," or "I have written;" and that the "little children" of 1John 2:12 is the same word as that which he used in 1John 2:1 for the whole class of his readers, and is therefore quite general, but that the "little children" of 1John 2:13 is a different, word, meaning children in age. So we get:-- . . . 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" (1 John 2:15-17); "to you, fathers" (1 John 2:18-27); "to you, young men" (1 John 2:28-3:22): "I wrote to you, children" (1 John 1:5-7); "to you, fathers" (chapter 1:8-2:2); "to you, young men" (1 John 2:3-11). 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." . . .
