1 John 5:1-21 BSB

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - 1 John 5:21

Keep yourselves from idols. An admonition to the new converted Christians, lest, conversing with heathens and idolaters, they might fall back into the sin of idolatry, which may be the sin unto death here mentioned by St. John. (Witham) read more

Matthew Henry

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

1-5 True love for the people of God, may be distinguished from natural kindness or party attachments, by its being united with the love of God, and obedience to his commands. The same Holy Spirit that taught the love, will have taught obedience also; and that man cannot truly love the children of God, who, by habit, commits sin or neglects known duty. As God's commands are holy, just, and good rules of liberty and happiness, so those who are born of God and love him, do not count them grievous,... 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

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 1 John 5:9-12

9-12 Nothing can be more absurd than the conduct of those who doubt as to the truth of Christianity, while in the common affairs of life they do not hesitate to proceed on human testimony, and would deem any one out of his senses who declined to do so. The real Christian has seen his guilt and misery, and his need of such a Saviour. He has seen the suitableness of such a Saviour to all his spiritual wants and circumstances. He has found and felt the power of the word and doctrine of Christ,... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 1 John 5:13-17

13-17 Upon all this evidence, it is but right that we believe on the name of the Son of God. Believers have eternal life in the covenant of the gospel. Then let us thankfully receive the record of Scripture. Always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that our labour is not in vain in the Lord. The Lord Christ invites us to come to him in all circumstances, with our supplications and requests, notwithstanding the sin that besets us. Our prayers must always be offered in submission to the... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 1 John 5:18-21

18-21 All mankind are divided into two parties or dominions; that which belongs to God, and that which belongs to the wicked one. True believers belong to God: they are of God, and from him, and to him, and for him; while the rest, by far the greater number, are in the power of the wicked one; they do his works, and support his cause. This general declaration includes all unbelievers, whatever their profession, station, or situation, or by whatever name they may be called. The Son leads... 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 Power, Testimony, and Substance of Faith. The wonderful power of faith: v. 1. Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God; and every one that loveth Him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of Him. v. 2. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments. v. 3.

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

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 1 John 5:9-12

The essence of faith: v. 9. If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is the witness of God which He hath testified of His Son. v. 10. He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself; he that believeth not God hath made Him a liar, because he believeth not the record that God gave of His Son. v. 11. And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. v. 12. He that hath the Son hath life; and he... read more
