1 John 2:18-22

18ChildrenG3813, 1it is the lastG2078 hourG5610; and justG2531 asG2531 you heardG191 that 2antichristG500 is comingG2064, 3evenG2532 nowG3568 manyG4183 antichristsG500 have appearedG1096; fromG3606 thisG3606 we knowG1097 that it is the lastG2078 hourG5610.

19 4They wentG1831 outG1831 from us, but they were not really of us; for ifG1487 they had beenG1510 of us, they would have remainedG3306 with us; but they went out, 5soG2443 thatG2443 6it would be evidentG5319 that they allG3956 are not of us.

20 7But you haveG2192 an 8anointingG5545 from 9the HolyG40 OneG40, and 10you allG3956 knowG3609.

21I have not writtenG1125 to you becauseG3754 you do not knowG3609 the truthG225, but 11becauseG3754 you do knowG3609 it, and 12becauseG3754 noG3956 G3756 lieG5579 is 13of the truthG225.

22WhoG5101 is the liarG5583 exceptG1508 14the one who deniesG720 that JesusG2424 is the 15ChristG5547? ThisG3778 is 16the antichristG500, the one who deniesG720 the FatherG3962 and the SonG5207.
