1Jn 2:22. Τίς; who?) Thus, who? ch. 1Jn 5:5.-ὁ ψεύστης) ὁ has a force relative to the abstract, a lie, 1Jn 2:21; that is, who is guilty of that lie and imposture?-ὅτι, that) The chief truth is, that Jesus is the Christ: Joh 20:31. In the Acts, Paul continually demonstrated this main point; and in his Epistles he presupposed it. John often makes mention of this main point in his Gospel, and in this and the following Epistle. From which it may be inferred that these books were not written by him altogether at the close of his life.-ὁ ἀντίχριστος, antichrist) 1Jn 2:18. The truth respecting Jesus, that He is the Christ, that He is the Son of God and is come in the flesh, must be held in its integrity. He who denies one part respecting Jesus, does not hold both Him, in His completeness, and the Father at the same time. The spirit of antichrist, and antichrist has done and does this.-τὸν Πατέρα καὶ τὸν Υἱὸν, the Father and the Son) that is, the Son, and therefore the Father.
