Context
17Nao ulimwengu unapita, pamoja na tamaa zake, bali yeye afanyaye mapenzi ya Mungu adumu milele. 18Watoto wadogo, huu ni wakati wa mwisho! Kama mlivyosikia kwamba mpinga Kristo anakuja, hivyo basi wapinga Kristo wengi wamekwisha kuja. Kutokana na hili twajua kwamba huu ni wakati wa mwisho. 19Walitoka kwetu, lakini hawakuwa wa kwetu hasa. Kwa maana kama wangelikuwa wa kwetu, wangelikaa pamoja nasi, lakini kutoka kwao kulionyesha kwamba hakuna hata mmoja wao aliyekuwa wa kwetu. 20Lakini ninyi mmetiwa mafuta na yeye Aliye Mtakatifu, nanyi nyote mnaijua kweli. 21Siwaandikii kwa sababu hamuijui kweli, bali kwa sababu mnaijua, nanyi mnajua hakuna uongo utokao katika kweli.
