1 John 4:15 - The Pulpit Commentary - Bible Study & Commentary

1 John 4:15 - Exposition

Whosoever confesseth ὅς ἂν ὁμολογήση . This rendering seems preferable to "whosoever shall confess" or "shall have confessed." The exact meaning is, "Whosoever has once for all taken up the position of confessing." 1 John 4:14 gave the ease of the apostles; this gives that of those who accept their witness. In the next verse we have that of both together.
