George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - 1 John 5:8

And there are three that give testimony on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three are one. [3] This is a repetition of what was before said, ver. 6, to be expounded in the same manner. But when it is added, these three are one, the sense is, that they witness one and the same truth. (Witham) --- As the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost, all bear witness to Christ's divinity; so the spirit, which he yielded up, crying out with a loud voice upon the cross, and the water... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 1 John 5:6-8

6-8 We are inwardly and outwardly defiled; inwardly, by the power and pollution of sin in our nature. For our cleansing there is in and by Christ Jesus, the washing of regeneration and the renewing of the Holy Ghost. Some think that the two sacraments are here meant: baptism with water, as the outward sign of regeneration, and purifying from the pollution of sin by the Holy Spirit; and the Lord's supper, as the outward sign of the shedding Christ's blood, and the receiving him by faith for... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - 1 John 5:1-99

1John 5 WHEN WE CONTEMPLATE the responsibilities which are ours in connection with our brethren, we are always apt, if the flesh prevails with us, to fall back upon Cain’s question, asking, “Am I my brother’s keeper?” Not exactly his keeper perhaps, but we certainly are to be his helper in the spirit of love. We are also apt to fall back upon a question similar to the one asked by the lawyer in Luke 10.0 . Wishing to justify himself, he asked, “And who is my neighbour?” We may ask, “And who is... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 1 John 5:6-8

The testimony of God: v. 6. This is He that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is Truth. v. 7. For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost; and these three are one. v. 8. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood; and these three agree in one. St. John here shows that the foundation of... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - 1 John 5:1-12

1 John 5:1-121Whosoever42 believeth that Jesus is the Christ43 is born of God: and every one that 2loveth him that begat loveth him also44 that is begotten of him. By this45 we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.46 3For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments 4are not grievous. For47 whatsoever48 is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh49 the world, even our50 faith. 5Who is... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 1 John 5:1-12

the Victorious Life 1 John 5:1-12 The “begotten” children of God are constantly referred to in this Epistle. The word indicates the communication, in regeneration, of the divine nature, of which the first evidence is love. This love is not a weak sentimentality, but a, strong, vigorous response to the motions of the divine love. God’s life in the soul also manifests itself in our faith; and as faith is the substance of the unseen and eternal world, it overcomes the fascination and glamour of... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 John 5:1-21

The final subject is our fellowship with God in life. This is fundamental, and is shown to be so. The relationship between the life of God and the love of God is self-evident, and that is equally true concerning the life of God and the light of God. Thus is brought out most clearly the true nature of Christianity. It is first and last and always life. Fellowship with the light of God is not possible to those who are alienated from His life. The experience and activity of His love never come... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 John 5:6-9

Through The Coming of Jesus God’s Son, Which Was Well Testified To, We Can Know That We Have Eternal Life (1 John 5:6-13 ). ‘This is he who came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ, not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is the truth. For there are three who bear witness, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood, and the three agree in one. If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater, for... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 1 John 5:6-12

1 John 5:6-2 Kings : . Reference to the faith held by the Church concerning Christ leads John to specify in symbolic terms what that faith was and the witness by which it was sustained. The truth belongs to the sphere of revelation and so has its source in God, but it is confirmed by the spiritual experience which it creates in the believer. 1 John 5:6 . by water and blood: i.e. by the water of His baptism and the blood of His death. The reference is to two events in Christ’ s ministry,... read more
