Let
1what you heard from the beginning abide in you. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, then
2you too will abide in the Son and in the Father.
25
And this is the promise that he made to us--
3eternal life.
26
I write these things to you about
4those who are trying to deceive you.
27
But
5the anointing that you received from him abides in you, and
6you have no need that anyone should teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about everything, and
7is true, and is no lie--just as it has taught you, abide in him.
Children of God
28 And now, little children, abide in him, so that
8when he appears
9we may have confidence and not shrink from him in shame at his
10coming.
29
If you know that
11he is righteous, you may be sure that
12everyone who practices righteousness has been born of him.
