20. And you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all know.
21. I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it, and because every lie is not of the truth.
22. Who is the liar except the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This person is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son.
23. Everyone who denies the Son does not have the Father either; the one who confesses the Son has the Father also.
24. As for you, what you have heard from the beginning must remain in you. If what you have heard from the beginning remains in you, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father.
25. And this is the promise which he himself promised us: eternal life.
26. These things I have written to you concerning the ones who are trying to deceive you.
