ヨハネの手紙Ⅰ 3:3-4 JCB

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 John 3:4

Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law - The law of God given to man as a rule of life. The object of the apostle here is to excite them to holiness, and to deter them from committing sin, perhaps in view of the fact stated in 1 John 3:3, that everyone who has the hope of heaven will aim to be holy like the Saviour. To confirm this, he shows them that, as a matter of fact, those who are born of God do lead lives of obedience, 1 John 3:5-10; and this he introduces by showing what is... read more

1 John 3:3. And every man that hath this hope in him An expectation of seeing Christ as he is, built on a solid foundation, namely, the foundation of being a child and heir of God; purifieth himself By applying to, and confiding in, the purifying blood of Christ, with a penitent, believing heart; by earnestly praying for and receiving the purifying Spirit of God; by obeying the purifying word, (1 Peter 1:22,) and by exercising purifying faith in the truths and promises of the gospel, Acts... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 John 3:4-5

1 John 3:4-5. The truth asserted in the preceding verse is so important, and the apostle knew so well that carnal men would be prone to flatter themselves that they might be admitted into heaven after they die, without being holy while they live, that he here enlarges on the important subject. Whosoever committeth sin That is, as the apostle here means, known sin, whether by doing actions which God hath forbidden, or by omitting duties which he hath enjoined, or by uttering words which are... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 John 3:1-10

3:1-5:5 THE LIFE OF LOVERight behaviour for God’s children (3:1-10)John cannot find words to express his feelings when he considers the great love God has shown in making sinful people his children. They now think and act according to the nature of their heavenly Father, with the result that unbelievers, who think and act according to the world’s standards, cannot understand them (3:1). God’s children know little about the nature of life in the world to come, but they know at least that in some... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 John 3:3

And everyone that hath this hope set on him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.And everyone that hath this hope set on him ... The RSV is a better translation: "Everyone who thus hopes in him." This means, "everyone who hopes in Christ." The great obligation of every person "in Christ" is to exhibit the righteousness and purity so perfectly exemplified in him.There is another glimpse in this of the "perfection" that God requires of his children. Being as pure as Christ is pure is the same as... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 John 3:4

Everyone that doeth sin doeth also lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness.And sin is lawlessness ... Here the KJV is far better: "Sin is the transgression of the law." And what law is in view? "He is not thinking of the law of Moses."[14] Nor can we agree with Blaney that, "transgression of the law of love"[15] alone is meant. "It means the law of God in the fullest sense, not Moses' law, but transgression of the will of God."[16] Particularly, it is "the law of Christ" which sin transgresses; and... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 1 John 3:3

1 John 3:3. That hath this hope— The phrase Ο εχων, signifies, he that keepeth, holdeth, or retaineth: he purifies himself; consequently he is not like a stone, or like a machine, which is entirely passive: God, it is true, gives him all the power by imparting his grace unto him; and this is the use which he is obliged to make of it. It is not said that he purifies himself, as Jesus Christ purifies himself; Jesus Christ was never polluted with any immorality, he therefore has no occasion to... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 1 John 3:4

1 John 3:4. Whosoever committeth sin— St. John's design in this verse, was not to explain the meaning of the word sin, but to assure the Christians that sin exposed a man to punishment; and then the connection is clear and evident: 1 John 3:3. "He that hopes for the heavenly felicity, purifies himself even as Christ is pure: 1 John 3:4. He who defiles himself with vice or wickedness, must be miserable; for wickedness will expose a man to punishment: 1 John 3:5. For this great and gracious... read more
