1 John 2:27-29
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
27 And the Anointing which you received from Him is abiding in you. And you have no need that anyone should be teaching[a] you; but as His Anointing is teaching you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it[b] taught you, be abiding[c] in it[d].
Abide In Christ So That If He Appears You May Have Confidence And Not Shame
28 And now little-children, be abiding[e] in Him so that if He appears, we may have confidence and not be put-to-shame[f] by Him at His coming.
Abiding Means Doing Righteousness, Which Characterizes All Those Born From God
29 If you know[g] that He[h] is righteous, you know that everyone also doing righteousness has been born[i] from Him.
