Before that person comes, there will be many other people who work against Christ. They too are called “antichrists,” but as a description rather than as a name.

The reading “you know all things” seems to have arisen because copyists felt a need to have an object for the verb “know.” Nevertheless, if a translation of the Bible already exists in your region, consider using whichever reading is found in that version.
