This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Ye are from beneath (ÎµÌ“Îº Ï„Ï‰Í‚Î½ ÎºÎ±ÌÏ„Ï‰ ÎµÌ“ÏƒÏ„ÎµÌ€)

A phrase peculiar to John and to his Gospel. Jesus states the radical antagonism between His opposers and Himself, as based upon difference of origin and nature. They spring from the lower, sensual, earthly economy; He from the heavenly. Compare Jam 3:15 sqq.

From above (ÎµÌ“Îº Ï„Ï‰Í‚Î½ Î±Ì“ÌÎ½Ï‰)

Also peculiar to John's Gospel. Compare Col 3:1. On the phrase to be of (ÎµÎ¹Ì“Í‚Î½Î±Î¹ ÎµÌ“Îº) see on Joh 1:46.

Ye are of this world (ÎµÌ“Îº Ï„Î¿Ï…Í‚ ÎºÎ¿ÌÏƒÎ¼Î¿Ï… Ï„Î¿Ï…ÌÏ„Î¿Ï… ÎµÌ“ÏƒÏ„ÎµÌ€)

Peculiar to John, and occurring in the First Epistle. On ÎºÎ¿ÌÏƒÎ¼Î¿Ï…, world, see on Joh 1:9. Ye are of this earthly order or economy.
