25. And this is the promise that he made to us—eternal life.
26. I write these things to you about those who are trying to deceive you.
27. But the anointing that you received from him abides in you, and you have no need that anyone should teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about everything, and is true, and is no lie—just as it has taught you, abide in him.
28. And now, little children, abide in him, so that when he appears we may have confidence and not shrink from him in shame at his coming.
29. If you know that he is righteous, you may be sure that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of him.
