Robertson Word Pictures - 1 John 4:4 - 4:4


(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)

This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Have overcome them (nenikēkate autous). Perfect active indicative of nikaō, calm confidence of final victory as in 1Jo 2:13; Joh 16:33. The reference in autous (them) is to the false prophets in 1Jo 4:1.

Because (hoti). The reason for the victory lies in God, who abides in them (1Jo 3:20, 1Jo 3:24; Joh 14:20; Joh 15:4.). God is greater than Satan, “he that is in the world” (ho en tōi kosmōi), the prince of this world (Joh 12:31; Joh 14:30), the god of this age (2Co 4:4), powerful as he seems.
