1 John 2:24-28

24 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^[a]--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.
