002:026 I have thus written to you concerning those who are
leading you astray.
002:027 And as for you, the anointing which you received from Him remains within you, and there is no need for any one to teach you. But since His anointing gives you instruction in all things— and is true and is no falsehood—you are continuing in union with Him even as it has taught you to do.
002:028 And now, dear children, continue in union with Him; so that, if He re-appears, we may have perfect confidence, and may not shrink away in shame from His presence at His Coming.
002:029 Since you know that He is righteous, be assured also that the man who habitually acts righteously is a child of His.
003:001 See what marvellous love the Father has bestowed upon us—
that we should be called God's children: and that is what we are.
For this reason the world does not recognize us—because it
has not known Him.
003:002 Dear friends, we are now God's children, but what we are
to be in the future has not yet been fully revealed.
We know that if Christ reappears we shall be like Him,
because we shall see Him as He is.
003:003 And every man who has this hope fixed on Him, purifies himself
so as to be as pure as He is.
003:004 Every one who is guilty of sin is also guilty of violating Law;
for sin is the violation of Law.
003:005 And you know that He appeared in order to take away sins;
and in Him there is no sin.
003:006 No one who continues in union with Him lives in sin:
no one who lives in sin has seen Him or knows Him.
