1 John 2:24-29

Warning Concerning Antichrists

24 Let m what you heard from the beginning abide in you. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, then n you too will abide in the Son and in the Father. 25 And this is the promise that he made to us 1 - o eternal life.

26 I write these things to you about p those who are trying to deceive you. 27 But q the anointing that you received from him abides in you, and r you have no need that anyone should teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about everything, and s is 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 t when he appears u we may have confidence and not shrink from him in shame at his v coming. 29 If you know that w he is righteous, you may be sure that x everyone who practices righteousness has been born of him.
