20 But you have been anointed by the Holy One, and all of you have knowledge.[a](A) 21 I write to you, not because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and you know that no lie comes from the truth. 22 Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ?[b] This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son. 23 No one who denies the Son has the Father; everyone who confesses the Son has the Father also.(B) 24 Let what you heard from the beginning abide in you. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, then you will abide in the Son and in the Father.(C) 25 And this is what he has promised us,[c] eternal life.(D)

26 I write these things to you concerning those who would deceive you. 27 As for you, the anointing that you received from him abides in you, so you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, abide in him.[d](E)

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) 23 No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also.(F)

24 As for you, see that what you have heard from the beginning(G) remains in you. If it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father.(H) 25 And this is what he promised us—eternal life.(I)
