John 5:42 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

You pretend a great deal of religion, and to do many things out of love to God, and a zeal for the glory of God; but though you can cheat others, yet you cannot deceive me: I, that search the heart, and try the reins, and am a witness to your actions, know that, whatsoever you pretend, the true love of God dwelleth not in you; and that is the reason why you do not receive me.

John 5:42

42 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
