Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 John 2:16

Here he explains his meaning, what, under the name of the world, and the things of it, we are not to love, or under what notion we ought not to love it, viz. the world as it contains the objects and nutriment of these mentioned lusts; either more grossly sensual, called the lust of the flesh, viz. of gluttony, drunkenness, whoredom, &c. Romans 13:13,Romans 13:14; or that which is excited more immediately by the fancy, unto which the eye especially ministereth, the excessive appetite of much... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 John 2:17

He sets the difference in view, of living according to the common genius, will, or inclination of the world, (which is lust), and according to the Divine will, that he who unites himself in his will and desire with the former, which vanishes, (objects and appetite altogether), must (which is implied) perish therewith; but he that unites himself with the supreme eternal good, by a will that is guided by and conformed to the Divine will, abideth for ever, partakes a felicity coeternal with the... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 John 2:18

The last time; the time here referred to seems to be the destruction of Jerusalem, and the finishing of the Jewish state, both civil and ecclesiastical. In the Greek, the last hour, the approaching period of Daniel’s seventy weeks, as Mr. Mede understands it, in his Apostacy of the Later Times. Whereas therefore it was now a known and expected thing among Christians, that the eminent antichrist, or antichristian state, (expressly foretold, 2 Thessalonians 2:1-17), was to come, or take place;... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 1 John 2:1-6

PROVISION FOR THE SINNING OF BELIEVERSCRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTESFIRMLY does St. John declare that the Christian should not sin, and must not sin. But he clearly recognises that Christians do actually sin through frailty. And he presents the consolation which is found in the gracious provision for dealing with Christian sins, both in their relation to God, and in their effects upon Christians themselves.1 John 2:1. Little children.—Suitable to such an aged and honoured teacher, such a father... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 1 John 2:7-11

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTES1 John 2:8. New commandment.—St. John seems to refer to his demand of love to the brethren, as the satisfactory sign of heart-obedience, son-like obedience to the Father. And this was new in the sense that no previous religious or ethical system had made such a demand. The common law of humanity is, “Serve yourself first, and then serve others, if you can.” The Divine law of humanity is, “Serve others first, and serve yourselves only when you are quite free of all... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 1 John 2:12-17

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTES1 John 2:12-17 indicate the things which the disciples must not love, if they would walk in the light, and be sons with the “Only Begotten.”1 John 2:12. Sins are forgiven.—The reception of Divine forgiveness is our virtual pledge that we will not again sin. “The forgiveness of sins is the first condition of Christian morals.” His name’s sake.—His name is Son. The basis of forgiveness is the offering to God the Father of a perfect sonship—the sonship of a man tested... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 1 John 2:18-19

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTES1 John 2:18. Last time.—R.V. “last hour”; probably it should be “a last hour.” The period after Christ’s coming in the flesh, however long it may prove to be, is regarded as the “last time.” If the apostles did expect a visible return of their Lord in their day, it is quite clear that the facts of Christian history have proved that the expectation was founded on misapprehension. The Christian dispensation is the last until there is another. Antichrist shall... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - 1 John 2:1

1 John 2:1 I. Let that be your aim: to "sin not." Let it be deliberately set before you as your fixed and settled purpose that you are not to sin, not merely that you are to sin as little as you can, but that you are not to sin at all. II. But not only would I have you to make this your aim: I would have your aim accomplished and realised. And therefore I write these things unto you, that ye sin not. We must assume it to be possible not to sin when we walk in the open fellowship of God. We are... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - 1 John 2:1-2

1 John 2:1-2 Christ our Righteousness. This short, pregnant passage stands in one of the inner sanctuaries of the Bible. This first epistle of St. John is very possibly the latest page of Scripture in date. Assuredly in it the Holy Spirit takes the reader into the last recesses of spiritual life and experience; He leads him into the most penetrating and searching views of holiness, and obedience, and love. A tone and air of serene yet awful purity, at once most spiritual and most importunately... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - 1 John 2:1-3

1 John 2:1-3 The True Idea of Man. I. St. John had a special reason for using this tender phrase, "my little children," in this place. All sin is connected by the Apostle with the loss of fellowship. A man shuts himself up in himself. He denies that he has anything to do with God; he denies that he has anything to do with his brother. That is what he calls walking in darkness. The inclination to walk in darkness, to choose darkness rather than light, is sin. We become aware of this inclination;... read more
