1 John 2:23
Hath not the Father (oude ton patera exei). "Not even does he have the Father" or God (II John 1:9).
He that confesseth the Son (o omologwn ton uion). Because the Son reveals the Father (John 1:18; John 14:9). Our only approach to the Father is by the Son (John 14:6). Confession of Christ before men is a prerequisite for confession by Christ before the Father (Matthew 10:32; Luke 12:8).
