View Wesley's Notes for 1 John 5:19

5:19 We know that we are children of God - By the witness and the fruit of his Spirit, #1John 3:24|. But the whole world - All who have not his Spirit, not only is touched by him, but by idolatry, fraud, violence lasciviousness, impiety, all manner of wickedness. Lieth in the wicked one - Void of life, void of sense. In this short expression the horrible state of the world is painted in the most lively colours; a comment on which we have in the actions, conversations, contracts, quarrels, and friendships of worldly men.

 


Chaplain V. Thomas's comment on 2012-10-18 12:28:56:

If we are living by His Spirit and under His Spirit, the world cannot take away what the Spirit has given us.
