23 He that is not on my side is against me, and he that does not gather with me scatters.+

22 Who is the liar if it is not the one that denies that Jesus is the Christ?+ This is the antichrist,+ the one that denies the Father and the Son.+

3 but every inspired expression that does not confess Jesus does not originate with God.+ Furthermore, this is the antichrist’s [inspired expression] which YOU have heard was coming,+ and now it is already in the world.+

4 My reason is that certain men have slipped in+ who have long ago been appointed+ by the Scriptures to this judgment,+ ungodly men,*+ turning the undeserved kindness of our God into an excuse for loose conduct*+ and proving false+ to our only Owner+ and Lord,+ Jesus Christ.
