26. I have written these things to you concerning those who deceive you.
27. But the anointing which you have received from Him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. For as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and just as it has taught you, remain in Him.
28. And now, little children, remain in Him, so that when He appears, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him when He comes.
29. If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone who does righteousness is born of Him.
