1 John 2:19 - Scofield Reference Notes

Bible Comments

went out from us

"Went out from us," that is, doctrinally. Doubtless then, as now, the deniers of the Son (1 John 2:22); (1 John 2:23) still called themselves Christians.

Compare (2 Timothy 1:15).

1 John 2:19

19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
