This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
1Jn_3:10-22. This seetion treats of brotherly love as the substance of δικαιοσύνη , and is therefore most closely connected with the foregoing; it is the commandment of Christ (1Jn_3:11), instead of which hatred reigns in the world (1Jn_3:12-13); with love, life is connected; with hatred, death (1Jn_3:14-15); in Christ we possess the ideal and example of love (1Jn_3:16). True love consists not in word, but in deed (1Jn_3:17-18); it produces firm confidence towards God, and obtains an answer to prayer (1Jn_3:19-22).
