ヨハネの手紙Ⅰ 2:1-23 JCB

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

In this verse we meet the conception of Antichrist. Antichrist is a word which occurs only in John's letters in the New Testament ( 1 John 2:22 ; 1 John 4:3 ; 2 John 1:7 ); but it is the expression of an idea which is as old as religion itself. From its derivation Antichrist can have two meanings. Anti ( Greek #473 ) is a Greek preposition which can mean either against or in place of. Strategos ( Greek #4755 ) is the Greek word for a commander, and antistrategos can mean either... read more

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

John has a view of Antichrist which is characteristically his own. To him the sign that Antichrist is in the world is the false belief and the dangerous teaching of the heretics. The Church had been well forewarned that in the last days false teachers would come. Jesus had said, "Many will come in my name, saying, I am he; and they will lead many astray" ( Mark 13:6 ; compare Matthew 24:5 ). Before he left them, Paul had warned his Ephesian friends: "After my departure fierce wolves will... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - 1 John 2:19-21

2:19-21 They have gone out from among us but they are not of our number. If they had been of our number, they would have remained with us. But things have happened as they have happened, that it may be clearly demonstrated that all of them are not of us. But you have received anointing from the Holy One and you all possess knowledge. I have not written this letter to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it and because no lie comes from the truth. As things have... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - 1 John 2:22-23

2:22-23 Who is the liar but the man who denies that Jesus is the Anointed One of God? Antichrist is he who denies the Father and the Son. Anyone who denies the Son does not even have the Father; and everyone who acknowledges the Son has the Father also. As someone has put it, to deny that Jesus is the Christ is the master lie, the lie par excellence; the lie of all lies. John says that he who denies the Son has not the Father either. What lies behind that saying is this. The false... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 John 2:1

My little children ,.... The apostle may address the saints under this character, on account of their regeneration by the Spirit and grace of God, in which they were as newborn babes; and on account of his being the instrument of their conversion, and so was their spiritual father, and therefore calls them his own children; and he might the rather use such a way of speaking, because of his advanced age, being now in his old age, and John the elder in age as well as in office; as well as to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 John 2:2

And he is the propitiation for our sins ,.... For the sins of us who now believe, and are Jews: and not for ours only ; but for the sins of Old Testament saints, and of those who shall hereafter believe in Christ, and of the Gentiles also, signified in the next clause: but also for the sins of the whole world ; the Syriac version renders it, "not for us only, but also for the whole world"; that is, not for the Jews only, for John was a Jew, and so were those he wrote unto, but for... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 John 2:3

And hereby we do know that we know him ,.... Either the Father, with whom Christ is an advocate; not as the God of nature, and by the light of it, nor as the lawgiver and Judge of the whole earth, and by the law of Moses; but as the God of all grace, as a God pardoning iniquity, transgression, and sin, as the Father of Christ, and as in him by the Gospel; and this not in a mere notional and speculative way, but with love and affection; not with fear and trembling, as devils know him, nor in... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 John 2:4

He that saith I know him ,.... God or Christ, as the Gnostics did, who pretended to great, even perfect, knowledge of divine things: and keepeth not his commandments ; which the above persons had no regard to, and as many who profess great light and knowledge in our days show no concern for: is a liar ; he contradicts what he says, and gives the lie to it; for though in words he professes to know God, in works he denies him, and which betrays his ignorance of him: and the truth is... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 John 2:5

But whoso keepeth his word ,.... Either the word of the Gospel, and the truths of it, who receives it in love, cordially embraces and retains it, and will by no means part with it, but holds it fast, and stands fast in it; or the precepts and ordinances of the word, who loves these, and esteems them above fine gold, and concerning all things to be right, and observes them as they should be: in him verily is the love of God perfected : not the love wherewith God loves him, for that is... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 John 2:6

He that saith he abideth in him ,.... As all do that are in him; once in Christ, and always in Christ; they are set as a seal on his arm and heart, which can never be removed; they are in his arms, and can never be plucked from thence; and are members of him, and can never be disunited from him: or dwelleth in him, as in John 6:56 ; that is, by faith; who under a sense of sin and danger have fled to Christ, as to a strong tower and place of defence, where they dwell safely, peaceably,... read more
