A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
Greek, "Every one who denieth the Son, hath not the Father either" (Jo1 4:2-3): "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, as though they were not in the original: for the oldest Greek manuscripts have them.

hath--namely, in his abiding possession as his "portion"; by living personal "fellowship."

acknowledgeth--by open confession of Christ.

27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
