SEV Biblia, Chapter 2:24
Pues lo que habis oído desde el principio, sea permaneciente en vosotros. Porque si lo que habis oído desde el principio fuere permaneciente en vosotros, tambin vosotros permaneceris en el Hijo y en el Padre.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 John 2:24
Verse 24. Let that therefore abide in you] Continue in the doctrines concerning the incarnation, passion, death, resurrection, ascension, and intercession of the Lord Jesus, which you have heard preached from the beginning by us his apostles. Ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.] Ye who are preachers shall not only be acknowledged as ministers of the Church of Christ, but be genuine children of God, by faith in the Son of his love; and ye all, thus continuing, shall have fellowship with the Father and with the Son.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 24. Let that therefore abide in you , &c.] Meaning the word of God, ( 1 John 2:14); the Gospel of Christ, which there was reason to believe had a place in their hearts, and which they had embraced and professed; and therefore the apostle exhorts them to perseverance in it; and particularly not to let go the doctrine concerning the Father and the Son, and this their relation to each other, which is the foundation of the doctrine of the Trinity, and of the distinct personality of Father, Son, and Spirit; the contrary to which leaves the three without either name, or distinction from each other: the arguments to enforce this exhortation follow, which ye have heard from the beginning ; they had heard it not externally only, but internally; they had hearkened to it, and from the heart obeyed it; they had mixed it with faith, and received the love of it; they had heard it from the apostles of Christ, who were eye and ear witnesses of the word; and this they had heard at the first preaching of the Gospel to them, at the first of their conversion: the apostles of Christ began their ministry with the sonship of Christ, and greatly insisted on it, in it, and required a profession of it before baptism, and which was made in order to it; and these believers had been baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, as standing in such a relation to each other; (see Acts 9:20 8:37 Matthew 28:19); and therefore ought not to relinquish this truth, and receive a new and upstart notion: and for further encouragement to continue in it, it is added, if that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you , ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father ; as those that are once in either always will; what is here said is not either the cause or condition of men being in the Father, and in the Son, or of their continuance in them, but is descriptive of the persons that are in them, and is an open and manifest evidence of their being and continuance in them. Such are in union with Christ, and at times enjoy sensible communion with him, and shall never be finally and totally removed from it; they are in the love of Christ, from whence there is no separations, and in the arms and hands of Christ, out of which none can pluck them; and they abide by him in the exercise of faith and love, and cleave unto him with full purpose of heart, and will hold on and out, professing his name to the end: and they are, and abide in the love of God the Father, which is from everlasting to everlasting; and in the covenant of his grace, which is sure and inviolable; and in the participation of all the blessings and promises of it, among which, the following one, eternal life, is a principal one.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 24-29 - The truth of Christ, abiding in us, is a means to sever from sin, an unites us to the Son of God, Joh 15:3, 4. What value should we put upo gospel truth! Thereby the promise of eternal life is made sure. The promise God makes, is suitable to his own greatness, power, an goodness; it is eternal life. The Spirit of truth will not lie; and he teaches all things in the present dispensation, all things necessary to our knowledge of God in Christ, and their glory in the gospel. The apostle repeats the kind words, "little children;" which denotes his affection. He would persuade by love. Gospel privileges oblige to gospel duties; and those anointed by the Lord Jesus abide with him. The new spiritual nature is from the Lord Christ. He that is constant to the practice of religion in trying times, shows that he is born from above, from the Lord Christ. Then, let us beware of holding the trut in unrighteousness, remembering that those only are born of God, wh bear his holy image, and walk in his most righteous ways __________________________________________________________________

Vincent's NT Word Studies
24. As for you (umeiv). This is the rendering of the Rev. The force of the emphatic you at the beginning of the sentence is utterly lost in the A.V., which takes the pronoun simply as nominative to ye have heard. You is emphatic by way of contrast with the false teachers (ver. 22).
From the beginning. See on i. 1. Notice the change in the order of the repeated sentence, that which ye heard from the beginning: o hjkousate ajp' ajrchv, that which ye heard; the emphasis being on their reception of the message: o ajp ajrchv hjkousate, that which ye heard from the beginning; emphasizing the time of the reception as coincident
