why does John emphasize fathers, young men, and little children?
Scripture does not say why John, through Gods Sovereignty, chose this poetic expression. However, we can see that a person can have different roles in the church, sometimes simultaneously.

Co-workers (young men) should concentrate on (internally and externally) overcoming the evil one, being strong in the Lord, and having the word of God living in them. Leaders (fathers) in all their busy working and leading, should not lose sight of their relationship with God they had as children. Q: In 1 Jn 3:10,14-18, 23-24, if a Christian hates or does not always love others, will he or she go to Hell? A: There is a difference between not always loving someone as much as you should and hating the person.
