The children
John 8:44
The devil is the father you are sprung from, and you want to carry out your father's wishes. He was a murderer from the first, and he has nothing to do with the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he speaks in his true character, for he is a liar and the father of them.

1 John 3:10
This is how the children of God and those of the devil can be distinguished: No one who does not act uprightly or who does not love his brother is a child of God.
Are gone

They have gone out from our number, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had, they would have stayed with us. It was to make it clear that none of them really belonged to us that they withdrew.
