1 John 2:19-21

The Voice

¹⁹ A group has left us, but they were not part of our family. If they were truly our brothers and sisters, they would have remained for the duration with us. When they left, they made it ever so obvious that they were not part of us.

²⁰ You have been given an anointing, a special touch from the Holy One. You know the truth.^{[a] 21} I am not writing to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it. You know that no lie belongs to the truth.
