1 John 2:5-6

5 But whoever obeys what Christ says is the kind of person in whom God's love is perfected. That's how we know we are in Christ.

6 Those who say that they live in him must live the same way he lived.

1 John 2:24

24 Make sure that the message you heard from the beginning lives in you. If that message lives in you, you will also live in the Son and in the Father.

1 John 2:27-28

27 The anointing you received from Christ lives in you. You don't need anyone to teach you something else. Instead, Christ's anointing teaches you about everything. His anointing is true and contains no lie. So live in Christ as he taught you to do.

28 Now, dear children, live in Christ. Then, when he appears we will have confidence, and when he comes we won't turn from him in shame.
