1 John 2:19-21

19 ¹They went out from us, but they were not really of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, ²so that ^[a]it would be shown that they all are not of us.

20 ^[b]But you have an ³anointing from ⁴the Holy One, and ⁵you all know.

21 I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but ⁶because you do know it, and ^[c]because no * lie is ⁷of the truth.
