1 John 2:21-29

21 I wrote not to you, as to men that know not the truth, but as to men that know it, and for each lying is not of truth.

22 Who is a liar, but this that denieth that Jesus is not Christ? This is antichrist, that denieth the Father, and the Son.

23 For each that denieth the Son, hath not the Father; but he that acknowledgeth the Son, hath also the Father.

24 That thing that ye heard at the beginning, dwell it in you [That thing that ye heard from the beginning, dwell in you]; for if that thing dwelleth in you [for if it shall dwell in you], which ye heard at the beginning, [and] ye shall dwell in the Son and in the Father.

25 And this is the promise, that he promised to us everlasting life.

26 I wrote these things to you, of them that deceive you,

27 and that the anointing which ye received of him, dwell in you. And ye have not need, that any man teach you, but as his anointing teacheth you of all things, and it is true, and it is not lying; and as he taught you, dwell ye in him.

28 And now, ye little sons, dwell ye in him, that when he shall appear, we have trust, and be not confounded of him in his coming.

29 If ye know that he is just, know ye that also each that doeth rightwiseness, is born of him.
