Context of 1 John 2:26
24As for you, see that what you heard from the beginning remains in you. If what you heard from the beginning remains in you, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father. 25This is the promise which He Himself made to us: eternal life. These things I have written to you concerning those who are trying to deceive you. 27And as for you, the anointing which you received from Him remains in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you remain in Him. 28Now, little children, remain in Him, so that when He appears, we may have confidence and not draw back from Him in shame at His coming.
