Warning Concerning Antichrists

18 Children, ^vit is the last hour, and as you have heard that ^wantichrist is coming, so now ^xmany antichrists have come. ^yTherefore we know that it is the last hour. 19 ^zThey went out from us, but they were not of us; for ^aaif they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out, ^abthat it might become plain that they all are not of us. 20 But you have been ^acanointed by ^adthe Holy One, and ^aeyou all have knowledge. ^{▼▼Some manuscripts you know everything} 21 I write to you, not because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth. 22 Who is the liar but ^aghe who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is ^ahthe antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son. 23 ^aiNo one who denies the Son has the Father. Whoever confesses the Son has the Father also. 24 Let ^ajwhat you heard from the beginning abide in you. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, then ^akyou too will abide in the Son and in the Father. 25 And this is the promise that he made to us ^{▼▼Some manuscripts you}— ^ameternal life.

26 I write these things to you about ^anthose who are trying to deceive you.
