1 John 1:2
_ _ the life — Jesus, “the Word of life.”
_ _ was manifested — who had previously been “with the Father.”
_ _ show — Translate as in 1 John 1:3, “declare” (compare 1 John 1:5). Declare is the general term; write is the particular (1 John 1:4).
_ _ that eternal life — Greek, “the life which is eternal.” As the Epistle begins, so it ends with “eternal life,” which we shall ever enjoy with, and in, Him who is “the life eternal.”
_ _ which — Greek, “the which.” the before-mentioned (1 John 1:1) life which was with the Father “from the beginning” (compare John 1:1). This proves the distinctness of the First and Second Persons in the one Godhead. |
1 John 1:2
For the life — The living Word. Was manifested — In the flesh, to our very senses. And we testify and declare — We testify by declaring, by preaching, and writing, 1 John 1:3-4.

This is mentioned in the beginning of the epistle. In the end of it is mentioned the same eternal life, which we shall always enjoy. |
