This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
And this is the promise (kai hautē estin hē epaggelia). See 1Jo 1:5 for the same idiom with aggelia (message). This is the only instance of epaggelia in the Johannine writings. Here “the promise” is explained to be “the life eternal” (1Jo 1:2). In Act 1:4 the word is used for the coming of the Holy Spirit.
He promised (autos epēggeilato). First aorist middle indicative of epaggellō. Autos (he) is Christ as is seen in 1Jo 3:3 by ekeinos.
