1 John 2:20–27
20 1But you have an aanointing from bthe Holy One, and cyou all know.
21 I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but abecause you do know it, and 1because no lie is bof the truth.
22 Who is the liar but athe one who denies that Jesus is the 1Christ? This is bthe antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son.
23 aWhoever denies the Son does not have the Father; the one who confesses the Son has the Father also.
24 As for you, let that abide in you which you heard afrom the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also bwill abide in the Son and in the Father.
25 aThis is the promise which He Himself 1made to us: eternal life.
26 These things I have written to you concerning those who are trying to adeceive you.
27 As for you, the aanointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing bteaches you about all things, and is ctrue and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, 1you abide in Him.
