Context of 1 John 2:27
25Now this is the promise that He Himself has promised us—eternal life. 26I have written you these things about those who are trying to mislead you. As for you, the anointing 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 it is true and not a lie—and just as it has taught you, abide in Him. 28And now, children, abide in Him, so that when He appears we will have confidence and not be ashamed in His presence at His coming. 29If you know that He is righteous, you also know that everyone who does what is right is born of Him.
