Perseverance in the Truth
Scripture
KJV
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.
ESV
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 it might become plain that they all are not of us.
1 John 2:19
Poem
When any turn from Zion's way,
(Alas, what numbers do!)
Methinks I hear my Saviour say,
Wilt thou forsake me too?
