New American 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 except (F)the one who denies that Jesus is the [c]Christ? This is (G)the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son. 23 (H)Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father; the one who confesses the Son has the Father also.
