1 John 2:20-22
1599 Geneva Bible
20 [a]But ye have an [b]ointment from that [c]Holy one, and know all things.
21 [d]I have not written unto you, because ye know not the truth: but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
22 [e]Who is a liar, but he that denieth that Jesus is [f]that Christ? the same is that Antichrist that denieth the Father and the Son.

- 1 John 2:22 He showeth now plainly the false doctrine of the Antichrists, to wit, that either they fight against the person of Christ, or his office or both together, and at once. And they that do so do in vain boast and brag of God, for that in denying the Son the Father also is denied.

New International Version
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? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist—denying the Father and the Son.(E)
