Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 John 3:18-20

1 John 3:18-20. My beloved children, let us not love merely in word or in tongue Contenting ourselves with complimental expressions of regard, or with giving our Christian brethren nothing but fair speeches; but in deed and in truth Let our actions approve the sincerity of our professions, and, by relieving them in their necessities and straits, let us show that we sincerely love them. And hereby Εν τουτω , in this, by being compassionate, kind, and bountiful, according to our... read more

1 John 3:21-22. Beloved, if our heart condemn us not If our conscience, duly enlightened by the word and Spirit of God, and comparing all our thoughts, words, and works with that word, pronounce that they agree therewith; then have we confidence toward God Our consciousness of his favour continues, with liberty of access to him, and intercourse with him; and we have this further blessing, that whatsoever we ask According to his will; we receive of him Or shall receive in the time,... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 John 3:11-24

God’s children love one another (3:11-24)Since Christians do what is right and refuse what is wrong, their lives will be characterized by love. But the world will not respond kindly to their goodness, just as Cain did not respond kindly to Abel’s (11-12). When sinners are shamed by the uprightness of others, the outcome usually is that they hate them for it (13). Hate produces murder, and murder is obviously not a characteristic of the Christian (14-15).Those who have genuine love, instead of... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 John 3:19

Hereby shall we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our heart before him: because if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.In this verse, "heart" is used with the meaning of "conscience." "The heart in St. John's language is conscience; the word conscience is not found in his writings."[42]"Opinion is much divided on whether these verses are meant to inspire awe, or afford consolation."[43] There does not seem to be any way of arriving at an... read more

and whatsoever we ask we receive of him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.Whatsoever we ask we receive ...
