22 Who is [such a] liar as he who denies that Jesus is the Christ (the Messiah)? He is the antichrist (the antagonist of Christ), who [[a]habitually] denies and refuses to acknowledge the Father and the Son.

23 No one who [[b]habitually] denies (disowns) the Son [c]even has the Father. Whoever confesses (acknowledges and has) the Son has the Father also.
