THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE
1 John 2:20 in context
1 John 2:17–23
17
The world is passing away with its lusts, but he who does God’s will remains forever.
18
Little children, these are the end times, and as you heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen. By this we know that it is the final hour.
19
They went out from us, but they didn’t belong to us; for if they had belonged to us, they would have continued with us. But they left, that they might be revealed that none of them belong to us.
21
I have not written to you because you don’t know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth.
22
Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the Antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son.
23
Whoever denies the Son doesn’t have the Father. He who confesses the Son has the Father also.
