May his blessing be upon us.

1 John 2 : 26 - 3 : 1
Chapter 2
| 26 | These things I have written to you concerning those who try to deceive you.
|
| 27 | But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.
|
| 28 | And now, little children, abide in Him, that when He appears, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming.
|
| 29 | If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness is born of Him.
|
Chapter 3
| 1 | Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.
|
Do not love the world or the things in the world.
The world passes away, and its desires; but he who does the will of God abides forever.
Amen.
