1 John 2:24

1 John 2:24

22 ^aWho is a liar but he who denies that ^bJesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son.

23 ^aWhoever denies the Son does not have the ^bFather either; ^che who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.

Let Truth Abide in You

24 Therefore let that abide in you ^awhich you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, ^byou also will abide in the Son and in the Father.

25 ^aAnd this is the promise that He has promised us—eternal life.

26 These things I have written to you concerning those who try to¹ deceive you.

27 But the ^aanointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and ^byou do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing ^cteaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you¹ will abide in Him.

The Children of God

28 And now, little children, abide in Him, that¹ when He appears, we may have ^aconfidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming.

29 ^aIf you know that He is righteous, you know that ^beveryone who practices righteousness is born of Him.

As for you (umeiv). Emphatic proleptic position before the relative o and subject of hkousate, a familiar idiom in John 8:45; John 10:29, etc. Here for emphatic contrast with the antichrists. See I John 1:1 for ap arxhv (from the beginning).

Let abide in you (en umin menetw). Present active imperative of menw, to remain. Do not be carried away by the new-fangled Gnostic teaching.
