Geneva Study Bible - 1 John 3:15

3:15 {15} Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.(15) A confirmation: Whoever is a murderer, is in eternal death: he who hates his brother is a murderer, therefore he is in death. Thereupon follows the other side: He that loves his brother has passed to life, for indeed we are born dead. read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 1 John 3:1-24

This chapter continues the subject introduced in ch.2:28. Verse 29 has shown that righteousness is an absolute requirement. It is indeed a solid, sound basis for the precious bestowal of the love of the Father, as in verse 1: “Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the children of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew Him not.” Where the claims of righteousness are honorably and properly fulfilled, the love of the Father’s... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 1 John 3:1-24

GOD IS RIGHTEOUS The second cycle centers around the thought that God is righteous (1 John 2:29 ); hence, fellowship with God depends on doing righteousness. In the working out of the proposition the apostle speaks of three things: (1) The motive for doing righteousness: the hope we have through our sonship to God (1 John 3:1-10 ); (2) The test of doing righteousness: love to the brethren (1 John 3:11-18 ); and (3) The reward of doing righteousness: assurance of salvation (1 John 3:19 to 1... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 1 John 3:13-24

Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you. (14) We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. (15) Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. (16) Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. (17) But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need,... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - 1 John 3:14-15

We know that we have passed from death to life; i.e. from the death of sin to the life of grace: we know it by a moral certainty, when we experience in our heart a love of our neighbour. --- He that loveth not God and his neighbour, abideth in death. He that hateth his brother with a mortal hatred, or to a considerable degree, is a murderer. (Witham) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 1 John 3:11-15

11-15 We should love the Lord Jesus, value his love, and therefore love all our brethren in Christ. This love is the special fruit of our faith, and a certain sign of our being born again. But none who rightly know the heart of man, can wonder at the contempt and enmity of ungodly people against the children of God. We know that we are passed from death to life: we may know it by the evidences of our faith in Christ, of which love to our brethren is one. It is not zeal for a party in the common... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - 1 John 3:1-99

1John 3 VERSE 28 of Chapter 2 stands as a short paragraph by itself, and the second chapter would more fittingly have ended with it. Verse 29 begins another paragraph which extends to verse 1Jn_3:3 of chapter 3. At this point someone might well have desired to enquire But who are the children of God, and how exactly may they be distinguished from those who are not? The answer given here is that those who are born of God are the children of God, and that they may be distinguished by the doing... read more

Hereby perceive we the love of God, because He laid down His life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. v. 17. But whoso hath this... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - 1 John 3:11-18

4. Brotherly Love is the Sum-Total of the Divine Law1 John 3:10-18 (10b-18)10b Whosoever20 doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither21 he that loveth not his 11brother. For22 this is the message23 that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. 12Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one,24 and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own25 works were evil, and26 his brother’s righteous. 13Marvel not, my brethren,27 if the world hate28 you. We know that we... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 1 John 3:13-24

Loving in Deed and in Truth 1 John 3:13-24 Love to the brethren is a sign that we have been born into the family. We may not like them all, yet we can love them. If we love, we live; and if we live in the deepest sense, we shall love; that is, we shall put others first, and our care for them will be tinged with the crimson of sacrifice. Love is not measured by the expressions of the lip or the emotion of the heart, but by the extent to which we will do or suffer. The believer dares not... read more
