1 John 2:28

And now, dear children, continue in union with Him; so that, if He re-appears, we may have perfect confidence, and may not shrink away in shame from His presence at His Coming.

Weymouth NT (1912)

In The King James Version

29Since you know that He is righteous, be assured also that the man who habitually acts righteously is a child of His.
