1 John 2:5
_ _ Not merely repeating the proposition, 1 John 2:3, or asserting the merely opposite alternative to 1 John 2:4, but expanding the “know Him” of 1 John 2:3, into “in Him, verily (not as a matter of vain boasting) is the love of (that is towards) God perfected,” and “we are in Him.” Love here answers to knowledge in 1 John 2:3. In proportion as we love God, in that same proportion we know Him, and vice versa, until our love and knowledge shall attain their full maturity of perfection.
_ _ his word — His word is one (see on 1 John 1:5), and comprises His “commandments,” which are many (1 John 2:3).
_ _ hereby — in our progressing towards this ideal of perfected love and obedience. There is a gradation: 1 John 2:3, “know Him”; 1 John 2:5, “we are in Him”; 1 John 2:6, “abideth in Him”; respectively, knowledge, fellowship, abiding constancy. [Bengel]. |
1 John 2:5
But whoso keepeth his word — His commandments. Verily in him the love of God — Reconciled to us through Christ. Is perfected — Is perfectly known. Hereby — By our keeping his word. We know that we are in him — So is the tree known by its fruits. To "know him," to be "in him," to "abide in him," are nearly synonymous terms; only with a gradation, — knowledge, communion, constancy. |
1 John 2:5
(4) But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the (f) love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in (g) him.
(4) He that keeps God's commandments loves God indeed: He that loves God, is in God, or is joined together with God. Therefore he that keeps his commandments is in him.
(f) Wherewith we love God.
(g) He means our union with Christ. |
