However, it is also possible that in this case the term has a more specialized meaning and that it refers to only some of the believers, since it seems to represent only one of three groups of believers that John addresses twice in [2:1214](rc://en/ult/book/1jn/02/12). Moreover, the next time John addresses this first group, in [2:14](rc://en/ult/book/1jn/02/14), he uses a different word that means “young children.” So in this context, the term could figuratively be describing new believers, that is, those who have just put their faith in Jesus for the forgiveness of their sins.
