Cyprian (200 or 210 AD - 258AD) quoted all of 1 John 2:23: "John too: "Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father; he that acknowledgeth the Son, hath both the Son and the Father." (Page 60 of "THE TREATISES OF CYPRIAN, AN EXHORTATION TO MARTYRDOM Addressed to Fortunatus" [Translation from Latin to English of Cyprian's "Treatises"): https://archive.org/details/writingscyprian00unkngoog/page/60/mode/2up

Cyprian's quotation of 1 John 2:23 matches with the KJB's words that quote 1 John 2:23: Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. (1 John 2:23

This is more evidence that 1 John 2:23 is biblical & should be in regular text, not italics, since Cyprian lived 150-200 years after the New Testament was completed and had access to direct copies (of the original New Testament), which contained all 1 John 2:23's words including the above underlined words.

1 John 2:23 is inspired Scripture!
