I have written (egraya). Not epistolary aorist, but refers to verses I John 5:1-12 of this Epistle as in I John 2:26 to the preceding verses.
That ye may know (ina eidhte). Purpose clause with ina and the second perfect active subjunctive of oida, to know with settled intuitive knowledge. He wishes them to have eternal life in Christ (John 20:31) and to know that they have it, but not with flippant superficiality (I John 2:3 ff.).
Unto you that believe on (toiv pisteuousin eiv). Dative of the articular present active participle of pisteuw and eiv as in verse I John 5:10. For this use of onoma (name) with pisteuw see I John 3:23; John 2:23.
