1 John 2:18-22 Dear children, the last time is come: as ye have heard that antichrist was to come, accordingly many antichrists have already appeared; whereby we know that we are now in the last times.

Mace⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁸ Dear children, the last time is come: as ye have heard that antichrist was to come, accordingly many antichrists have already appeared; whereby we know that we are now in the last times. 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 it might be manifest, that they were not all of us. ²⁰ As for you who have receiv'd the unction of the holy spirit, you know the whole affair. ²¹ I have not written to you, as to people unacquainted with the truth of the gospel: but as to such who know it, and know that it cannot give rise to any imposture. ²² who is so great an impostor as he, who denies that Jesus is the Christ? he is antichrist, that denies the father and the son.
