1 John 2:23 Context
21I haue not written vnto you, because yee know not the trueth: but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the trueth. 22Who is a lier, but hee that denieth that Iesus is the Christ? hee is Antichrist, that denyeth the Father, and the Sonne. 23Whosoeuer denieth the Sonne, the same hath not the Father: but he that acknowledgeth the Sonne, hath the Father also. 24Let that therefore abide in you which yee haue heard from the beginning: if that which ye haue heard from the beginning shall remaine in you, yee also shall continue in the Sonne, and in the Father. 25And this is the promise that hee hath promised vs, euen eternall life.
