1 John 2:19
Compare all
17 And athe world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.  

Deceptions of the Last Hour

18 aLittle children, bit is the last hour; and as you have heard that cthe Antichrist is coming, deven now many antichrists have come, by which we know ethat it is the last hour.  
19 aThey went out from us, but they were not of us; for bif they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out cthat they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us.  
20 But ayou have an anointing bfrom the Holy One, and cyou know all things.  
21 I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
22 aWho is a liar but he who denies that bJesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son.  
23 aWhoever denies the Son does not have the bFather either; che who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.  

Let Truth Abide in You

24 Therefore let that abide in you awhich you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, byou also will abide in the Son and in the Father.  
25 aAnd this is the promise that He has promised us—eternal life.

1 John 2:19

From us (ec hmwn)

—of us (ec hmwn). The same idiom, ec and the ablative case (hmwn), but in different senses to correspond with echlqan (they went out from our membership) and ouk hsan (they were not of us in spirit and life). For ec in the sense of origin see John 17:15, for ec in the sense of likeness, John 17:14.

For if they had been of us (ei gar ec hmwn hsan). Condition of second class with ei and imperfect tense (no aorist for eimi).

They would have continued (memenhkeisan an). Past perfect of menw, to remain, without augment, with an in apodosis of second-class condition.

With us (meq hmwn). In fellowship, for which see meta in I John 1:3. They had lost the inner fellowship and then apparently voluntarily broke the outward.

But they went (all). Ellipsis of the verb echlqan above, a common habit (ellipse) in John s Gospel (John 1:8; John 9:3; John 13:18; John 15:25).

That they might be made manifest (ina fanerwqwsin). Purpose clause with ina and the first aorist passive subjunctive of fanerow, for which verb see John 21:1; Colossians 3:4. See II Corinthians 3:3 for the personal construction with oti as here.

They all are not (ouk eisin pantev). Not just some, but all, as in I John 2:21; I John 3:5. These antichrists are thus revealed in their true light.
