1 John 2:14 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

I have written to you, fathers — As if he had said, Observe well what I but now wrote. He speaks very briefly and modestly to these, who needed not much to be said to them, as having that deep acquaintance with God which comprises all necessary knowledge. Young men, ye are strong — In faith. And the word of God abideth in you — Deeply rooted in your hearts, whereby ye have often foiled your great adversary.

1 John 2:14

14 I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.
