1 John 2:22

Read in context

1 John 2:20–24 · Berean Standard Bible

20 You, however, have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth.

21 I have not written to you because you lack knowledge of the truth, but because you have it, and because no lie comes from the truth.

22 Who is the liar, if it is not the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, who denies the Father and the Son.

23 Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father, but whoever confesses the Son has the Father as well.

24 As for you, let what you have heard from the beginning remain in you. If it does, you will also remain in the Son and in the Father.
