Dear friends, this is already the second letter I have written ¹  you, in which ²  I am trying to stir up ³  your pure mind by way of reminder:

I have not written to you that ¹  you do not know the truth, but that ²  you do know it, and that ³  no lie is of the truth.

I have written these things ¹  to you who believe ²  in the name of the Son of God so that ³  you may know that you have eternal life.
