1 John 2:20-22
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
You Have God’s Anointing And You Know The Truth. Let It Abide In You And You In It
20 And you have an Anointing[a] from the Holy One, and you all have-knowledge[b]. 21 I did not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and that[c] every lie is not from[d] the truth. 22 Who is the liar if not the one denying that Jesus is the Christ? This one is the antichrist, the one denying the Father and the Son.

20 But you have an anointing(A) from the Holy One,(B) and all of you know the truth.[a](C) 21 I do not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it(D) and because no lie comes from the truth. 22 Who is the liar?
