Let Truth Abide in You

²⁴ Therefore let that abide in you ^(A)which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, ^(B)you also will abide in the Son and in the Father. ^25 (C)And this is the promise that He has promised us—eternal life.

¹³ These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, ^[a]and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.

⁵ And now I plead with you, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment to you, but that which we have had from the beginning: ^(A)that we love one another. ^6 (B)This is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, that ^(C)as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it.
