1 John 2:25

1 John 2:25

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.

And this is the promise (kai auth estin h epaggelia). See I John 1:5 for the same idiom with aggelia (message). This is the only instance of epaggelia in the Johannine writings. Here "the promise" is explained to be "the life eternal" (I John 1:2). In Acts 1:4 the word is used for the coming of the Holy Spirit.

He promised (autov ephggeilato). First aorist middle indicative of epaggellw. Autov (he) is Christ as is seen in I John 3:3 by ekeinov.
