2:18 Beware of ‘new’ teaching
18 New believers, it’s now the last times and what you heard about the false messiah coming is now happening. Many false messiahs have already been around and that confirms that it’s now the last times. 19 They came from our group, but they were never truly part of us because if they were, they would have stayed with us. But they left us so it would be revealed that they’re not part of us.
20 But you all have received the spirit[fn] from the chosen messiah[fn] and you all know all about it.[fn] 21 I didn’t write to you all because you don’t know the truth, but because you have known the truth and any falsehood is not part of it.
22 Anyone who teaches that Yeshua is not the messiah is a liar. And anyone who disowns the father and the son is a false messiah. 23 Anyone who disowns the son, doesn’t know the father either—only those who confess the son know the father
24 What you all heard from the beginning, that’s what you should hold to. If the message that you heard from the beginning remains in you, then you also will remain in the son and in the father, 25 and in that case, what he promised us is to live forever.
26 I wrote these things to you all concerning those who would mislead you. 27 But for you, the spirit that you received from Yeshua remains in you all and so you don’t need anyone else to teach you because his spirit teaches you about everything. The spirit teaches truth and not lies, and since you were taught by the spirit then you are remaining in Yeshua.
28 So now you new believers, remain in him so that when he is revealed, we can have boldness and not be ashamed of him when he comes back. 29 Because you know that he is sinless, you also know that anyone faithfully obeying his teaching has been reborn in him.
2:20 anointing: It’s not really clear here what Yohan is referring to that they have received: God’s favour? a skill or ability? a blessing? the Holy Spirit? But v27 below seems to be talking about God’s holy spirit.
2:20 holy (one): Yohan seems to be referring to Yeshua here.
2:20 You all know all: also unclear what Yohan means.
