Departure Of The False Teachers

22 Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, even he who denies the Father and the Son. 23 Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father; the one who confesses the Son has the Father also. 24 As for you, let that live in you, which you heard from the beginning. If that which you heard from the beginning lives in you, you will also live in the Son, and in the Father.
