1 John 2:22-29

22Who is the liar but 1the one who denies that Jesus is the 2Christ? This is 3the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son. 234Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father; the one who confesses the Son has the Father also. 24As for you, let that abide in you which you heard 5from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also 6will abide in the Son and in the Father. 257This is the promise which He Himself 8made to us: eternal life.

26These things I have written to you concerning those who are trying to 9deceive you. 27As for you, the 10anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing 11teaches you about all things, and is 12true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, 13you abide in Him.

28Now, 14little children, abide in Him, so that when He 15appears, we may have 16confidence and 17not 18shrink away from Him in shame 19at His 20coming. 29If you know that 21He is righteous, you know that everyone also who practices righteousness 22is 23born of Him.
