1 John 2:23-29

23 Whosoever denies the Son, the same does not have the Father. Whosoever confesses the Son, has the Father also.

24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. For if that which ye have heard from the beginning shall abide in you, ye also shall continue to abide in the Son and in the Father.

25 And this is the promise that he has promised us, even eternal life.

26 These things I have written unto you concerning those that seduce you.

27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abides in you, and ye do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you of all things and is truth, and is no lie; and even as it has taught you, abide ye in him.

28 And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

29 If ye know that he is righteous, also know that any one that does righteousness is born of him.
