1Jn 2:28. Τεκνία,[7] dear sons) Having now finished his address to the three different ages, he returns to the whole.-μένετε, abide)-ἐν αὐτῷ, in Him) in Jesus Christ. For it is He who shall be manifested.-παῤῥησίαν) confidence, of having kept the truth (ch. 1Jn 3:21, 1Jn 4:17, 1Jn 5:14).-μὴ αἰσχυνθῶμεν, we may not be ashamed) Oh! how great will then be your shame, ye Jews, Socinians, and all pretended Christians, and whomsoever He shall deny to be His!-παρουσίᾳ, at His coming) He places this object before the fathers, the young men, and children. It appears, therefore, that he wrote this Epistle before the Apocalypse, in which at length His coming is represented as put off to a greater distance. Tertullian supposes that the Epistle was subsequently written.

[7] The word μου, which was set down by the margin of both Editions among the readings not to be approved of, by some chance or other has crept into the Germ. Vers.-E. B.
