So young people, enjoy yourselves while you are young. Be happy! Do whatever your heart leads you to do. Do whatever you want. But remember that God will judge you for everything you do.
Remember your Creator while you are young, before the bad times \{of old age\} come—before the years come when you say, “I have wasted my life.” {\cf2\super [44]}
“After this I will pour (give) my Spirit\par on all kinds of people.\par Your sons and daughters will prophesy. {\cf2\super [21]} \par Your old men will dream dreams.\par Your young men will see visions. {\cf2\super [22]} \par
Young men, I have something to say to you, too. You should accept the authority of the elders. {\cf2\super [32]} All of you should be very humble with each other.
I write to you, fathers,\par because you know the One who existed (lived) from the beginning.\par I write to you, young people,\par because you have defeated the\par Evil One (the devil).\par
