William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - 1 John 2:7-8

2:7-8 Beloved, it is not a new commandment which I am writing to you, but an old commandment which you had from the beginning, the old commandment is the word which you heard. Again, it is a new commandment which I am writing to you, a thing which is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the light is now shining. Beloved is John's favourite address to his people (compare 1 John 3:2 ; 1 John 3:21 ; 1 John 4:1 ; 1 John 4:7 ; 3 John 1:1-2 ; 3 John 1:5 ; ... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - 1 John 2:7-8

John goes on to say that this commandment of love is true in Jesus Christ and true in the people to whom he is writing. To John, as we have seen, truth was not only something to be grasped with the mind; it was something to be done. What he means is that the commandment to love one another is the highest truth; in Jesus Christ we can see that commandment in all the glory of its fullness; in him that commandment is true; and in the Christian we can see it, not in the fullness of its truth but... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - 1 John 2:9-11

2:9-11 He who says that he is in the light, and who at the same time hates his brother, is still in the darkness. He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is nothing in him which makes him stumble. He who hates his brother is in the darkness and he is walking in darkness, and he does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes. The first thing which strikes us about this passage is the way in which John sees personal relationships in terms of black... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - 1 John 2:9-11

John has something further to say. As he sees it, our attitude to our brother man has an effect not only on him but also on ourselves. (i) If we love our brother, we are walking in the light and there is nothing in us which causes us to stumble. The Greek could mean that, if we love our brother, there is nothing in us which causes others to stumble and, of course, that would be perfectly true. But it is much more likely that John is saying that, if we love our brother, there is nothing in us... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - 1 John 2:12-14

2:12-14 I am writing to you, little children, Because your sins are forgiven you through his name. I am writing to you, fathers, Because you have come to know him who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, Because you have overcome the Evil One. I have written to you, little ones, Because you have come to know the Father. I have written to you, fathers, Because you have come to know him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, Because you are strong, And... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - 1 John 2:12-14

The second problem which confronts us is more difficult, and also more important. John uses three titles of the people to whom he is writing. He calls them little children; in 1 John 2:12 the Greek is teknia ( Greek #5040 ) and in 1 John 2:13 paidia ( Greek #3816 ); teknia ( Greek #5040 ) indicates a child young in age and paidia ( Greek #3816 ) a child young in experience, and, therefore, in need of training and discipline. He calls them fathers. He calls them young men.... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - 1 John 2:12-14

This passage finely sets out God's gifts to all men in Jesus Christ. (i) There is the gift of forgiveness through Jesus Christ. This was the essential message of the gospel and of the early preachers. They were sent out to preach repentance and remission of sins ( Luke 24:47 ). It was Paul's message at Antioch in Pisidia that to men there was proclaimed through Jesus Christ forgiveness of sins ( Acts 13:38 ). To be forgiven is to be at peace with God and that is precisely the gift that... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - 1 John 2:15-17

2:15-17 Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For everything that is in the world--the flesh's desire, the eye's desire, life's empty pride--does not come from the Father but comes from the world. And the world is passing away, and so is its desire; but he who does God's will abides for ever. It was characteristic of ancient thought to see the world in terms of two conflicting principles. We see this very vividly... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - 1 John 2:15-17

John has two things to say about the man who loves the world and compromises with it. First, he sets out three sins which are typical of the world. (i) There is the flesh's desire. This means far more than what we mean by sins o the flesh. To us that expression has to do exclusively with sexual sin. But in the New Testament the flesh is that part of our nature which. when it is without the grace of Jesus Christ, offers a bridgehead to sin. It includes the sins of the flesh but also all... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - 1 John 2:18

2:18 Little children, it is the time of the last hour; and now many antichrists have risen, just as you heard that Antichrist was to come. That is how we know that it is the time of the last hour. It is important that we should understand what John means when he speaks of the time of the last hour. The idea of the last days and of the last hour runs all through the Bible; but there is a most interesting development in its meaning. (i) The phrase occurs frequently in the very early books... read more
