Whoever transgresses and doesn’t remain in the teaching of Christ, doesn’t have God. He who remains in the teaching, the same has both the Father and the Son.
World English Bible (WEB)
Whosoever{G3956} transgresseth{G3845}{(G5723)}, and{G2532} abideth{G3306}{(G5723)} not{G3361} in{G1722} the doctrine{G1322} of Christ{G5547}, hath{G2192}{(G5719)} not{G3756} God{G2316}. He that abideth{G3306}{(G5723)} in{G1722} the doctrine{G1322} of Christ{G5547}, he{G3778} hath{G2192}{(G5719)} both{G2532} the Father{G3962} and{G2532} the Son{G5207}.
KJV with Strongs
Anyone who goes ahead and does not remain in the teaching of HaMashiach does not have Elohim. The one who remains in this teaching has both Abba and Son.
The F.O.G
[9] Anyone who runs ahead and doesn't continue in the teaching about the Messiah doesn't have God. But whoever continues in His teaching has both the Father and the Son. It's like staying on the path versus wandering into dangerous territory. Anyone who bypasses this teaching about the Anointed One does not have God. However, anyone who remains in this teaching has both the Father and the Son.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
every one who is transgressing, and is not remaining in the teaching of the Christ, hath not God; he who is remaining in the teaching of the Christ, this one hath both the Father and the Son;
Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

God's Word is too vast for a single perspective. We all have a story, and as believers we all carry the Holy Spirit who is the Revealer. With this in mind - I would love to read your comments.
