1 John 3:13

_ _ Marvel not — The marvel would be if the world loved you.

_ _ the world — of whom Cain is the representative (1 John 3:12).

_ _ hate you — as Cain hated even his own brother, and that to the extent of murdering him. The world feels its bad works tacitly reproved by your good works.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 1 John 3:11-13.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 John 3:13

Marvel not if the world hate you — For the same cause.
