1 John 2:19-21

Common English Bible

¹⁹ They went out from us, but they were not really part of us. If they had been part of us, they would have stayed with us. But by going out from us, they showed they all are not part of us. ²⁰ But you have an anointing from the holy one, and all of you know the truth. ²¹ I don’t write to you because you don’t know the truth but because you know it. You know that no lie comes from the truth.
