# Connecting Statement:
|
|
|
|
Starting in verse 29, John introduces the idea of being born into God's family. The previous verses show that believers continue to sin; this part shows that believers also have the new nature, which cannot sin. It continues to show how believers can recognize each other.

# As for you
|
|
|
|
This marks John's telling them something else about how they should live as followers of Jesus instead of following those who are against Christ.
|

|
# the anointing
|
|
|
|
This refers to "God's Spirit." See the note about "anointing" in [1 John 2:20](../02/20.md).

# as his anointing teaches you everything
|
|
|
|
Here the word "everything" is a generalization. Alternate translation: "because his anointing teaches you everything that you need to know" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-hyperbole]])

# remain in him
|
|
|
|
To remain in someone means to continue to have fellowship with him. See how you translated "remains in God" in [1 John 2:6](../02/06.md). Alternate translation: "continue to have fellowship with him" or "stay joined with him" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
