Vincent Word Studies - 1 John 5:21 - 5:21
(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)
This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Keep yourselves (φυλάξατε ἑαυτὰ)
The exact phrase is not found elsewhere in the New Testament. See 2Pe 3:17. Rev., rightly, guard. See on 1Pe 1:4.
Idols (εἰδώλων)
Strictly, images. The command, however, has apparently the wider Pauline sense, to guard against everything which occupies the place due to God.
