Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.

'Everyone who denieth the Son, hath not the Father either' (1 John 4:2); 'inasmuch as God hath given Himself to us wholly to be enjoyed in Christ' (Calvin).

(He that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.) These words ought not to be in italics, for 'Aleph (') A B C, Vulgate, Origen, Cyprian, Hilary, have them.

Hath - in abiding possession as his 'portion;' by personal 'fellowship.'

Acknowledgeth - by open confession Acknowledgeth - by open confession.
