I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth. |
I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth. |
I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it, and because no lie is of the truth. |
I do not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it, and because no lie comes from the truth. |
I write to you not because you are ignorant and do not perceive and know the Truth, but because you do perceive and know it, and [know positively] that nothing false (no deception, no lie) is of the Truth. |
I am not writing to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and because every lie is not out of the truth as a source. |
and indeed I have not written this warning as if I were writing to men who don't know what error is. I write because our eyes are clear enough to discern a lie when you come across it. |
I do not write to you because you do not know it, but because you do know it and no lie comes from the truth. |
