1 John 2:19
The Bible in 1 John Chapter 2 Verse 19 says:
They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us: but [they went out], that they might be made manifest that they all are not of us.
Interpretation of 1 John Chapter 2 Verse 19
In this passage from 1 John 2:19, the author is warning the readers about false teachers who had previously been a part of the church but have since left. The author points out that if these teachers had truly been part of the church, they would have stayed with the church and not left. The author is making it clear that those who have left are not part of the church and should not be followed. The purpose of this passage is to remind believers to be discerning and to stay true to the church, for those who have left are not part of the church and cannot be trusted.
