26 I am writing this letter about those people who are trying to lead you the wrong way.
27 Christ gave you a special gift. You still have this gift in you. So you do not need any other teacher. The gift he gave you teaches you about everything. This gift is true, not false. So continue to live in Christ, as his gift taught you.
28 Yes, my dear children, live in him. If we do this, we can be without fear on the day when Christ comes back. We will not need to hide and be ashamed when he comes.
29 You know that Christ is righteous. So you know that all who do what is right are God’s children.
