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.

as his anointing teaches you everything

Here the word "everything" is a generalization. AT: "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 2:5-6. AT: "continue to have fellowship with him" or "stay joined with him" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
