1 John 2:27-29

Expanded Bible

²⁷ [^LAs for you] ·Christ gave you a special gift that is still in you [^LThe anointing that you received from him abides/remains in you; 2:20], so you do not need ·any other teacher [^Lanyone to teach you; Jer. 31:34]. [^LBut just as] His ·gift [^Lanointing] teaches you about everything, and it is true, not false. So ·continue to live in Christ, as his gift taught you [^Ljust as he taught you, abide/remain in him].

²⁸ ·Yes [Now], my dear children [2:1], ·live [abide; remain] in him so that when ·Christ comes back [^Lhe appears/is revealed], we can be ·without fear [confident] and not be ashamed [^Lof him] ·in his presence [at his coming]. ²⁹ ·Since [If] you know that ·Christ [^Lhe] is righteous, you know that all who ·do right [practice righteousness] ·are God’s children [^Lhave been born of/begotten by him].
