Whoever denies the Son, the same has not the Father; but he who confesses the Son has the Father also. As for you, let what you have heard from the beginning abide in you.

By this you know the Spirit of God; every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is from God;

and every spirit which confesses him not, is not from God. And this is that spirit of Antichrist of which you have heard that it is coming, and that now it is already in the world.

If any man confesses that "Jesus is the Son of God." God is abiding in that man, and he in God.
