1 JOHN 2:28 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.”
And now, little children, abide in him, so that when he appears we may have confidence and not shrink from him in shame at his coming — the abiding (menō) ensures readiness for the parousia (apokalypsis). Confidence (parrēsia) before Christ at judgment flows from present faithfulness. Shame (aischynē) marks those unfaithful to Christ during his absence.
