1 JOHN 2:18-27

Young children, it is the last hour, and, just as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now there have come to be many antichrists, from which fact we gain the knowledge that it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they were not of our sort, for if they had been of our sort, they would have remained with us. But they went out that it might be shown up that not all are our sort. And you have an anointing from the holy one; all of you have knowledge. I write you not because you do not know the truth, but because you know it and because no lie originates the truth.

Who is the liar if it is not the one that denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one that denies the Father and the Son. Everyone that denies the Son does not have the Father either. He that confesses the Son has the Father also.

As for you let that which you have heard from the beginning remain in you. If that which you have heard from the beginning remains in you, you will also abide in union with the Son and in union with the Father. Furthermore, this is the promised thing that he himself promised us, the life everlasting.

This thing I write you about those who are trying to mislead you.

And as for you, the anointing that you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to be teaching you; but as the anointing from him is teaching you about all things and is true and is no lie, and just as it has taught you, remain in union with him.
