1 John 2:12 - Forerunner Commentary

1 John 2:12

10 ^aHe who loves his brother abides in the light, and ^bthere is no cause for stumbling in him.

11 But he who ^ahates his brother is in darkness and ^bwalks in darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

Their Spiritual State

12 I write to you, little children,
Because ^ayour sins are forgiven you for His name’s sake.

13 I write to you, fathers,
Because you have known Him who is ^afrom the beginning.
I write to you, young men,
Because you have overcome the wicked one.
I write to you, little children,
Because you have ^bknown the Father.

14 I have written to you, fathers,
Because you have known Him who is from the beginning.
I have written to you, young men,
Because ^ayou are strong, and the word of God abides in you,
And you have overcome the wicked one.

Do Not Love the World

15 ^aDo not love the world or the things in the world. ^bIf anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

16 For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, ^athe lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world.
