II.1 chapter 14

From the devil it is said: "He abode not in the truth, because the truth is not in him" (Gospel according to John, chapter 8, verse 44). This does not mean that the second part "because the truth is not in him" means to indicate a cause; but it indicates an outcome. We might rephrase: "We can judge he abode not in the truth, because we can see the truth has left him".
