As for you
This phrase marks John's switch from talking about other people to talking about the people he is writing to.
let what you have heard from the beginning remain in you
"continue to trust what we have taught you about Jesus when you first became believers"
If what you heard from the beginning remains in you
"If you continue to trust what we first taught you"
also remain in the Son and in the Father
"also continue to have fellowship with the Son and with the Father" or "also stay joined to the Son and to the Father". These are important titles that describe the relationship between God and Jesus. It is best to translate "Father" and "Son" with the same words that your language uses to refer to a human father and a human son.
