# dear 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: "my dear children in Christ" or "you who are as dear to me as my own children" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
# have overcome them
"have not believed the false teachers"
# the one who is in you is
"God, who is in you, is"
# the one who is in the world
Here "the one" refers to the devil. Here "the world" represents the people of the world. Alternate translation: "the devil who is in the people of the world" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
