1 John 2:21-23
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
21 I did not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and that[a] every lie is not from[b] the truth. 22 Who is the liar if not the one denying that Jesus is the Christ? This one is the antichrist, the one denying the Father and the Son. 23 Everyone denying the Son does also-not have the Father. The one confessing[c] the Son also has the Father.

New International Version
21 I do not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it(A) 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.(B) 23 No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also.(C)
