25. Christ has given us the promise of eternal life.
26. I’m writing to you about those who are trying to deceive you.
27. The anointing you received from Christ lives in you. You don’t need anyone to teach you something else. Instead, Christ’s anointing teaches you about everything. His anointing is true and contains no lie. So live in Christ as he taught you to do.
28. Now, dear children, live in Christ. Then, when he appears we will have confidence, and when he comes we won’t turn from him in shame.
29. If you know that Christ has God’s approval, you also know that everyone who does what God approves of has been born from God.
