The children
John 8:44
The father whose sons you are is the Devil; and you desire to do what gives him pleasure. *He* was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand firm in the truth--for there is no truth in him. Whenever he utters his lie, he utters it out of his own store; for he is a liar, and the father of lies.
2 Corinthians 6:15
Where can harmony between Christ and Belial be found? Or what participation has a believer with an unbeliever?
1 John 3:10
By this we can distinguish God's children and the Devil's children: no one who fails to act righteously is a child of God, nor he who does not love his brother man.
Are gone
1 John 2:19
They have gone forth from our midst, but they did not really belong to us; for had they belonged to us, they would have remained with us. But they left us that it might be manifest that professed believers do not all belong to us.
Jude 1:19
These are those who cause divisions. They are men of the world, wholly unspiritual.
