1 John 2:18-27 - Departure Of The False Teachers
18 Dear children, the last time is come: as ye have heard that antichrist was to come, accordingly many antichrists have already appeared; whereby we know that we are now in the last times. 19 they went out from us, but they were not of us: for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that it might be manifest, that they were not all of us.
20 As for you who have receiv'd the unction of the holy spirit, you know the whole affair. 21 I have not written to you, as to people unacquainted with the truth of the gospel: but as to such who know it, and know that it cannot give rise to any imposture. 22 who is so great an impostor as he, who denies that Jesus is the Christ? he is antichrist, that denies the father and the son. 23 whosoever denieth the son, disowns the father:
24 adhere therefore to what ye have learnt from the beginning. if you adhere to what ye have heard from the beginning, you will still persist to own both the son and the father. 25 and this is the reward that he hath promised us, even eternal life. 26 These things have I written to you concerning those that would seduce you.
27 but as the unction which ye have received from him, abides in you, you don't need any instruction: being then fully instructed by his unction, which is true and not fallacious, adhere to what that has taught you.
