1 John 2:18 in Context — 1 John 2

16 car tout ce qui est dans le monde, la convoitise de la chair, la convoitise des yeux, et l’orgueil de la vie, ne vient point du Père, mais vient du monde.

17 Et le monde passe, et sa convoitise aussi; mais celui qui fait la volonté de Dieu demeure éternellement.

18 Petits enfants, c’est la dernière heure, et comme vous avez appris qu’un antéchrist vient, il y a maintenant plusieurs antéchrists: par là nous connaissons que c’est la dernière heure.

19 Ils sont sortis du milieu de nous, mais ils n’étaient pas des nôtres; car s’ils eussent été des nôtres, ils seraient demeurés avec nous, mais cela est arrivé afin qu’il fût manifeste que tous ne sont pas des nôtres.

20 Pour vous, vous avez reçu l’onction de la part de celui qui est saint, et vous avez tous de la connaissance.
