This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
1Jn 3:1. Δέδωκεν, hath given) not only hath destined and conferred, but also hath displayed.-τέκνα Θεοῦ, sons of God) What is greater than God? what relationship is nearer than that of sons?-κληθῶμεν, should be called) should be so, together with the title: which appears empty to the world.-διὰ τοῦτο, on this account) A consequence, as 1Jn 3:13. The word, behold, is to be opposed to the world, which despises the righteous.-ἡμᾶς, us) who are like God. [But if those who have no regard for God hold thee in any account, there is reason for thee to feel alarmed about thy state.-V. g.]
