1 John 2:17-19

Tree of Life Version

¹⁷ The world is passing away along with its desire, but the one who does the will of God abides forever.

Anointed People Cling to the Anointed One

¹⁸ Children, it is the last hour. Just as you heard that the anti-messiah is coming, even now many anti-messiahs have come—by this we know that it is the last hour. ¹⁹ They left us, but they didn’t really belong to us. If they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us. But they left us so it became clear that none of them belongs to us.
