1 John 2:20-23
Legacy Standard Bible
20 [a]But you have an (A)anointing from (B)the Holy One, and (C)you all know. 21 I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but (D)because you do know it, and [b]because no lie is (E)of the truth. 22 Who is the liar but (F)the one who denies that Jesus is the [c]Christ? This is (G)the [d]antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son. 23 (H)Everyone who denies the Son does not have the Father; the one who confesses the Son has the Father also.

New Living Translation
20 But you are not like that, for the Holy One has given you his Spirit,[a] and all of you know the truth. 21 So I am writing to you not because you don’t know the truth but because you know the difference between truth and lies. 22 And who is a liar? Anyone who says that Jesus is not the Christ.[b] Anyone who denies the Father and the Son is an antichrist.[c] 23 Anyone who denies the Son doesn’t have the Father, either. But anyone who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.
