1 John 2:25-29

The Promise Is Eternal Life

25 1This is the promise which He Himself [a]made to us: eternal life.
26 These things I have written to you concerning those who are trying to 2deceive you.
27 As for you, the 3anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing 4teaches you about all things, and is 5true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, [b]you abide in Him.
28 Now, 6little children, abide in Him, so that when He 7appears, we may have 8confidence and 9not [c]shrink away from Him in shame [d]at His 10coming.
29 If you know that 11He is righteous, you know that everyone also who practices righteousness 12is [e]born of Him.
