Title:  Not One Denying the Son Has the Father

The text is, “πᾶς ὁ ἀρνούμενος τὸν υἱὸν οὐδὲ τὸν πατέρα ἔχει ὁ ὁμολογῶν τὸν υἱὸν καὶ τὸν πατέρα ἔχει”.

πᾶς -> masculine, singular, nominative adjective -> one

ὁ -> masculine, singular, nominative article -> the NRIEH**

ἀρνούμενος -> present, middle, participial, masculine, singular, nominative verb -> denying

τὸν -> masculine, singular, accusative article -> the

υἱὸν -> masculine, singular, accusative noun -> son

οὐδὲ -> adverb -> not

τὸν -> masculine, singular, accusative article -> the

πατέρα -> masculine, singular, accusative noun -> Father

ἔχει -> third person, singular, present, active, indicative verb -> has

ὁ -> masculine, singular, nominative article -> the

ὁμολογῶν -> present, singular, participial, masculine, singular, nominative verb -> one declaring openly and solemnly

τὸν -> masculine, singular, accusative article -> the NRIEH

υἱὸν -> masculine, singular, accusative noun -> son

καὶ -> coordinating additive conjunction -> and

τὸν -> masculine, singular, accusative article -> the

πατέρα -> masculine, singular, accusative article -> Father

ἔχει -> third person, singular, present, active, indicative verb -> has

The meaning of this verse is,

No one denying the son has the Father, and the one declaring the son openly and solemnly has the Father.

**NRIEH:  For the sake of clarity the word is translated into English, but to avoid such odd constructions as applying a definite article (“the”) to a substantive sufficiently determined by its being a proper noun, or by the use of a qualifier other than the definite article. An example would be the basic translation “Peter said to the Jesus”; the word “the” is completely unnecessary. There are many examples of this in the New Testament. The designation NRIEH is equivalent to “Not Rendered Into English Here”.
