This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
Ver. 36. Hath eternal life] 1. In promisso. In promise. 2. In pretio. In reward, 3. In primitiis. In beginnings. He stands already on the battlements of heaven, he hath one foot in the porch of paradise.
He that believeth not] There is a two-fold unbelief, one in the understanding, and is opposed to faith, áðéóôéá ; the other in the will and lives, and is opposed to obedience, áðåéèåéá , Heb_8:10. For cure of both, God hath promised to write his laws both in the minds of his people and in their hearts too.
The wrath of God abides upon him] ìåíåé , as in its mansion-place, as upon its basis, tanquam trabali clave fixa, saith one; there it nestles, settles, and never will away. The unbeliever can neither avoid it nor abide it.
