1 John 2:24-29 What you have heard from the beginning must abide in you. If what you have heard from the beginning abides in you, you will also abide in the Son and in the Father.

ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁴ What you have heard from the beginning must abide in you. If what you have heard from the beginning abides in you, you will also abide in the Son and in the Father. ²⁵ The message that the Son himself declared to us is eternal life. ²⁶ I have written to you about those who are trying to deceive you. ²⁷ The anointing you received from God abides in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you this. Instead, because God’s anointing teaches you about everything and is true and not a lie, abide in him, as he taught you to do.
²⁸ Abide in HimEven now, little children, abide in him. Then, when he appears, we will have confidence and will not turn away from him in shame when he comes. ²⁹ Since you know that he is righteous, you also know that everyone who practices righteousness has been fathered by God.
