1 John 2:19 Context
17And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof, but hee that doeth the will of God, abideth for euer. 18Little children, it is the last time: and as yee haue heard that Antichrist shall come, euen now are there many Antichrists, whereby wee know that it is the last time. 19They went out from vs, but they were not of vs: for if they had beene of vs, they would no doubt haue continued with vs: but they went out that they might be made manifest, that they were not all of vs. 20But ye haue an vnction from the holy One, and ye know all things. 21I haue not written vnto you, because yee know not the trueth: but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the trueth.
