1 John 2:21-23

Warning Concerning Antichrists

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 _k he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is _b the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son. ²³ _l No one who denies the Son has the Father. Whoever confesses the Son has the Father also.
