1 John 1:4
_ _ these things — and none other, namely, this whole Epistle.
_ _ write we unto you — Some oldest manuscripts omit “unto you,” and emphasize “we.” Thus the antithesis is between “we” (apostles and eye-witnesses) and “your.” We write thus that your joy may be full. Other oldest manuscripts and versions read “OUR joy,” namely, that our joy may be filled full by bringing you also into fellowship with the Father and Son. (Compare John 4:36, end; Philippians 2:2, “Fulfil ye my joy,” Philippians 2:16; Philippians 4:1; 2 John 1:8). It is possible that “your” may be a correction of transcribers to make this verse harmonize with John 15:11; John 16:24; however, as John often repeats favorite phrases, he may do so here, so “your” may be from himself. So 2 John 1:12, “your” in oldest manuscripts. The authority of manuscripts and versions on both sides here is almost evenly balanced. Christ Himself is the source, object, and center of His people’s joy (compare 1 John 1:3, end); it is in fellowship with Him that we have joy, the fruit of faith. |
1 John 1:4
That your joy may be full — So our Lord also, John 15:11; John 16:22. There is a joy of hope, a joy of faith, and a joy of love. Here the joy of faith is directly intended. It is a concise expression. Your joy — That is, your faith and the joy arising from it: but it likewise implies the joy of hope and love. |
- that:
Isaiah 61:10 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh [himself] with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth [herself] with her jewels.
Habakkuk 3:17-18 Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither [shall] fruit [be] in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and [there shall be] no herd in the stalls: ... Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.
John 15:11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and [that] your joy might be full.
John 16:24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.
2 Corinthians 1:24 Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.

2 John 1:12 Having many things to write unto you, I would not [write] with paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.
