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 they might be made manifest that they all are not of us.

They went out from us but they were not of us; if they had been of us they would still be with us: but they went out from us so that it might be made clear that they were not of us.

Εξ ημων εξηλθον, αλλα δεν ησαν εξ ημων· διοτι εαν ησαν εξ ημων, ηθελον μενει μεθ' υμων· αλλα εξηλθον δια να φανερωθωσιν οτι δεν ειναι παντες εξ ημων.

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.
