How can we originate from God, yet the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one? Is this talking about two groups of people, and who is the wicked one?
1 John 5:19 (New American Standard Bible) We know that we are of God, and that the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
1 John 5:19 (New International Version, ©2010) We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one.
1 John 5:19 (NWT) We know we originate with God, but the whole world is lying in the [power of the] wicked one.
