1 John 2:21-23

Contemporary English Version

²¹ I did not need to write you about the truth, since you already know it. You also know that liars do not belong to the truth. ²² And a liar is anyone who says Jesus isn't truly Christ. Anyone who says this is an enemy of Christ and rejects both the Father and the Son. ²³ If we reject the Son, we reject the Father. But if we say we accept the Son, we have the Father.
