1 John 2:22-29

22Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son.

23Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.

24Therefore let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father.

25And this is the promise that He has promised us—eternal life.

26These things I have written to you concerning those who try to deceive you.

27But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.

28And now, little children, abide in Him, that when He appears, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming.

29If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness is born of Him.
