Children, ^(C1)it is the last hour; and just as you heard that ^(C2)antichrist is coming, ^(C3)even now many antichrists have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour.

^(C1)They went out from us, but they were not really of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, ^(C2)so that ^(F1)it would be evident that they all are not of us.

^(F1)But you have an ^(C1)anointing from ^(C2)the Holy One, and ^(C3)you all know.

I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but ^(C1)because you do know it, and ^(F1)because no lie is ^(C2)of the truth.

Who is the liar except ^(C1)the one who denies that Jesus is the ^(F1)Christ? This is ^(C2)the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son.

^(C1)Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father; the one who confesses the Son has the Father also.

As for you, see that what you heard ^(C1)from the beginning remains in you. If what you heard from the beginning remains in you, you also ^(C2)will remain in the Son and in the Father.

^(C1)This is the promise which He Himself ^(F1)made to us: eternal life.

These things I have written to you concerning those who are trying to ^(C1)deceive you.

And as for you, the ^(C1)anointing which you received from Him remains in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing ^(C2)teaches you about all things, and is ^(C3)true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, ^(F1)you remain in Him.
