# Connecting Statement:

John warns about those who are against Christ.

# Children

John was an elderly man and their leader. He used this expression to show his love for them. See how you translated this in [1 John 2:1](../02/01.md). Alternate translation: "you who are as dear to me as my own children" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])

# it is the last hour

The phrase "the last hour" refers to the time just before Jesus returns. Alternate translation: "Jesus will return soon" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])

# many antichrists have come

"there are many people who are against Christ"

# have come. By this we know

"have come, and because of this we know" or "have come, and because many antichrists have come, we know"
