1 John 2:24-27

Christ Our Advocate, Walking as He Walked, and Abiding in the Truth

The chapter moves from Christ’s advocacy for sinners to the evidences of genuine knowledge of God: obedience, love, rejection of the world, discernment of antichrist denial, and abiding in the Son.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

24As for you, let what you have heard from the beginning remain in you. If it does, you will also remain in the Son and in the Father.

25And this is the promise that He Himself made to us: eternal life.

26I have written these things to you about those who are trying to deceive you.

27And as for you, the anointing you received from Him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But just as His true and genuine anointing teaches you about all things, so remain in Him as you have been taught.
