1 John 2:25
23 Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father, but whoever confesses the Son has the Father as well.
24 As for you, let what you have heard from the beginning remain in you. If it does, you will also remain in the Son and in the Father.
And this is the promise that He Himself made to us: eternal life.
26 I have written these things to you about those who are trying to deceive you.
27 And as for you, the anointing you received from Him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But just as His true and genuine anointing teaches you about all things, so remain in Him as you have been taught.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
