1 John 2:20-23
English Standard Version
20 But you have been (A)anointed by (B)the Holy One, and (C)you all have knowledge.[a] 21 I write to you, not because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth. 22 Who is the liar but (D)he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is (E)the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son. 23 (F)No one who denies the Son has the Father. Whoever confesses the Son has the Father also.
