1 John 2:21-23

1 John 2:21-23
EasyEnglish Bible
21 That is why I am writing to you. It is not because you do not yet know God's true message. I am writing to you because you do know that true message. And you can be sure that there are no lies in it.
22 Who is the one who tells the worst lies? It is anyone who says that Jesus is not the Messiah. A person like that is the enemy of Christ. He is speaking against God, the Father, and against Jesus, his Son. 23 Anyone who says that Jesus is not God's Son does not belong to the Father. But anyone who accepts Jesus as the Son of God also belongs to the Father.[a]

1 John 2:21-23
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)
