Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

1 Corinthians 8:3

_ _ love God — the source of love to our neighbor (1 John 4:11, 1 John 4:12, 1 John 4:20; 1 John 5:2).

_ _ the same — literally, “this man”; he who loves, not he who “thinks that he knows,” not having “charity” or love (1 Corinthians 8:1, 1 Corinthians 8:2).

_ _ is known of him — is known with the knowledge of approval and is acknowledged by God as His (Psalms 1:6; Galatians 4:9; 2 Timothy 2:19). Contrast, “I never knew you” (Matthew 7:23). To love God is to know God; and he who thus knows God has been first known by God (compare 1 Corinthians 13:12; 1 Peter 1:2).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 Corinthians 8:3

He is known — That is, approved, by him. Psalms 1:6.
