Verse 4
4. Whosoever Our apostle turns now from the regenerate to the transgressor. And 1 John 3:7 fully shows that he is dealing with transgressors who denied the true nature of sin.
Committeth Practiseth, as a continuous present tense, and referring to the open act. To those who deny that misdeeds of the body are sin, he replies by unflinchingly subjecting their deeds to the law, with all its condemnatory power of penalty.
The law The law of eternal rectitude, which is the divine law, also, (1 John 3:11,) of love. The bodily deeds of a Nicolaitan can plead no exemption from that law or its sentence.
Sin… transgression… law A sin and a transgression of the law are one and the same thing, so that the act at variance with the law is sin, and liable to all the condemnation of sin, or violated divine law.
