21I have not sent you this letter because you have no knowledge of what is true, but because you have knowledge, and because that which is false has nothing in common with that which is true.
22Who is false but he who says that Jesus is not the Christ? He is the Antichrist who has no belief in the Father or the Son.
23He who has no belief in the Son has not the Father: he who makes clear his belief in the Son has the Father.
24But as for you, keep in your hearts the things which were made clear to you from the first. If you keep these things in your hearts you will be kept in the Father and the Son.
25And this is the hope which he gave you, even eternal life.
26I am writing these things to you about those whose purpose is that you may be turned out of the true way.
27As for you, the Spirit which he gave you is still in you, and you have no need of any teacher; but as his Spirit gives you teaching about all things, and is true and not false, so keep your hearts in him, through the teaching which he has given you.
