The world and its desires pass away,1 but the man who does the will of God2 lives forever.
Warning Against Antichrists
18 Dear children, this is the last hour;3 and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming,4 even now many antichrists have come.5 This is how we know it is the last hour. 19 They went out from us,6 but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us.7 20 But you have an anointing8 from the Holy One,9 and all of you know the truth.a10 21 I do not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it11 and because no lie comes from the truth. 22 Who is the liar? It is the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a man is the antichrist--he denies the Father and the Son.12 23 No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also.13 24 See that what you have heard from the beginning14 remains in you. If it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father.15 25 And this is what he promised us--even eternal life.16 26 I am writing these things to you about those who are trying to lead you astray.17 27 As for you, the anointing18 you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things19 and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit--just as it has taught you, remain in him.20Scripture quoted by permission.
