1 John 2:20-23

201But you have an 2anointing from 3the Holy One, and 4you all know.

21I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but 5because you do know it, and 6because no lie is 7of the truth.

22Who is the liar except 8the one who denies that Jesus is the 9Christ? This is 10the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son.

2311Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father; the one who confesses the Son has the Father also.
