This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
1Jn 4:9. Ἐν ἡμῖν, in us) that is, the love of God, which is now in us, throughout our whole spiritual experience.-ὅτι, because) This motive of love is derived from 1Jn 4:3. From that which is said in 1Jn 4:3 respecting Jesus Christ, who is come in the flesh, mutual love is inferred, 1Jn 4:7 : the consequence is proved from the love of God towards us, who sent His Son, that we might live. It is a proof of the love of God towards us: it is a motive to our mutual love.
