1 John 2:11

is in darkness . . . walketh—"is" marks his continuing STATE: he has never come out of "the darkness" (so Greek); "walketh" marks his OUTWARD WALK and acts.

whither—Greek, "where"; including not only the destination to which, but the way whereby.

hath blinded—rather, as Greek aorist, "blinded" of old. Darkness not only surrounds, but blinds him, and that a blindness of long standing.



1 John 2:9-11

There is no mean between light and darkness, love and hatred, life and death, God and the world: wherever spiritual life is, however weak, there darkness and death no longer reign, and love supplants hatred; and Luke 9:50 holds good: wherever life is not, there death, darkness, the flesh, the world, and hatred, however glossed over and hidden from man's observation, prevail; and Luke 11:23 holds good. "Where love is not, there hatred is; for the heart cannot remain a void" [BENGEL].

in the light—as his proper element.

his brother—his neighbor, and especially those of the Christian brotherhood. The very title "brother" is a reason why love should be exercised.

even until now—notwithstanding that "the true light already has begun to shine" (I John 2:8).
