2:24 As for you, what you have heard from the beginning must remain 5 in you. If what you heard from the beginning remains in you, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father. 2:25 Now this 6 is the promise that he 7 himself made to 8 us: eternal life. 9 2:26 These things I have written to you about those who are trying to deceive you. 10
2:27 Now as for you, the anointing 11 that you received from him 12 resides 13 in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you. But as his 14 anointing teaches you about all things, it is true and is not a lie. Just as 15 it 16 has taught you, you reside 17 in him.
2:28 And now, little children, remain 18 in him, 19 so that when 20 he appears we may have confidence and not shrink away from him in shame when he comes back. 21
