This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

1Jn 2:5. Αὐτοῦ τὸν λόγον, His word) the word of Jesus Christ respecting the Father: ch. 1Jn 1:5. The precepts are many; the word is one.-ἀληθῶς, in truth) It is not a lie or vain boasting. This adverb has great force at the beginning of the clause.-ἡ ἀγάπη τοῦ Θεοῦ, the love of God) towards man, reconciled to us by Christ.-τετελείωται, is made perfect) Having obtained perfect rule, it is also perfectly known: ch. 1Jn 4:12.-ἐν τούτῳ, in this) There is a reference to the preceding words, but whoso keepeth, as ch. 1Jn 4:6, from this.-ἐν αὐτῷ ἐσμεν, we are in Him) Synonyms, with progressive gradation: to know Him; to be in Him; to abide in Him: 1Jn 2:6, knowledge; fellowship; constancy.
