1 John 2:23-25

New Century Version

²³ Whoever does not accept the Son does not have the Father. But whoever confesses the Son has the Father, too.

²⁴ Be sure you continue to follow the teaching you heard from the beginning. If you continue to follow what you heard from the beginning, you will stay in the Son and in the Father. ²⁵ And this is what the Son promised to us—life forever.
