27 Pour vous, l’onction que vous avez reçue de lui demeure en vous, et vous n’avez pas besoin qu’on vous enseigne; mais comme son onction vous enseigne toutes choses, et qu’elle est véritable et qu’elle n’est point un mensonge, demeurez en lui selon les enseignements qu’elle vous a donnés.

28 Et maintenant, petits enfants, demeurez en lui, afin que, lorsqu’il paraîtra, nous ayons de l’assurance, et qu’à son avènement nous ne soyons pas confus et éloignés de lui.

29 Si vous savez qu’il est juste, reconnaissez que quiconque pratique la justice est né de lui.
