Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 John 2:23

23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father; but he that acknowledgeth the Son, hath the Father also.

To have the Father and the Son, is by Faith, Love, and Obedience, vitally to adhere to the one and the other. The latter part of this Verse, tho it be not in the ordinary Greek Copies, is in some of the Versions, and said to be in some Greek Manuscripts also, whence it is supply'd very agreeably to the Apostle's Scope, and usual way of writing.

Marginal references: Joh. 15.23.; Chap. 4.15.
