1 John 2:15
_ _ Love not the world — that lieth in the wicked one (1 John 5:19), whom ye young men have overcome. Having once for all, through faith, overcome the world (1 John 4:4; 1 John 5:4), carry forward the conquest by not loving it. “The world” here means “man, and man’s world” [Alford], in his and its state as fallen from God. “God loved [with the love of compassion] the world,” and we should feel the same kind of love for the fallen world; but we are not to love the world with congeniality and sympathy in its alienation from God; we cannot have this latter kind of love for the God-estranged world, and yet have also “the love of the Father in” us.
_ _ neither — Greek, “nor yet.” A man might deny in general that he loved the world, while keenly following some one of THE THINGS IN IT: its riches, honors, or pleasures; this clause prevents him escaping from conviction.
_ _ any man — therefore the warning, though primarily addressed to the young, applies to all.
_ _ love of — that is, towards “the Father.” The two, God and the (sinful) world, are so opposed, that both cannot be congenially loved at once. |
1 John 2:15
To you all, whether fathers, young men, or little children, I say, Love not the world — Pursue your victory by overcoming the world. If any man love the world — Seek happiness in visible things, he does not love God. |
1 John 2:15
(14) Love not the (l) world, neither the things [that are] in the world. If any man love the world, the (m) love of the Father is not in him.
(14) The world which is full of wicked desires, lusts or pleasures, and pride, is utterly hated by our heavenly Father. Therefore the Father and the world cannot be loved together: and this admonition is very necessary for young and growing youth.
(l) He speaks of the world, as it agrees not with the will of God, for otherwise God is said to love the world with an infinite love, (John 3:16) that is to say, those whom he chose out of the world.
(m) Wherewith the Father is loved. |
