26 I write these things to you about (D)those who are trying to deceive you. 27 But (E)the anointing that you received from him abides in you, and (F)you have no need that anyone should teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about everything, and (G)is true, and is no lie—just as it has taught you, abide in him.
