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. 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)
do not let anyone lead you astray
Here "lead you astray" is a metaphor for persuading someone to believe something that is not true. Alternate translation: "do not let anyone fool you" or "do not let anyone deceive you" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
The one who does righteousness is righteous, just as Christ is righteous
"He who does what is right is pleasing to God just as Christ is pleasing to God."
