21 [a]I have not written unto you, because ye know not the truth: but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
22 [b]Who is a liar, but he that denieth that Jesus is [c]that Christ? the same is that Antichrist that denieth the Father and the Son.
23 [d]Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father.

- 1 John 2:21 The taking away of an objection. He wrote not these things as to men which are ignorant of religion, but rather as to them which do well know the truth, yet so far forth that they are able to discern truth from falsehood.
- 1 John 2:22 He showeth now plainly the false doctrine of the Antichrists, to wit, that either they fight against the person of Christ, or his office or both together, and at once. And they that do so do in vain boast and brag of God, for that in denying the Son the Father also is denied.
- 1 John 2:22 Is the true Messiah.
- 1 John 2:23 They then are deceived themselves, and also do deceive others, which say that the Turks and other infidels worship the same God that we do.

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)
