Excerpt from The First Epistle of John, Vol. 2: Expounded in a Series of Lectures In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous. - 1 john iii. 10-12. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from An Exposition of the First Epistle General of John, Vol. 2: Comprised in Ninety-Three Sermons Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. - 1 John IV. 1. In this Epistle a variety of subjects are contained and set before us. Some of these are dropped, and afterwards resumed. It is necessary to observe this: because this is the case here. It was in the second chapter, the apostle gave an account that there were then, at that time in which he wrote, many antichrists.

It had been foretold antichrist should come; and these his forerunners were now come before him, and would most assuredly introduce him: the being the very spawn out of which he was to be produced. These had been members in the churches: they went out of them, with a design to spread their then new-fangled heresies, far and wide: they were many in number: by their leaving the churches to which they had been united, it fully appeared they were never one in heart, soul, faith and practice with them. The heresy of these heretics very particularly consisted in denying that Jesus of Nazareth was the Messiah: and in corrupting the true doctrine of the Persons in God; hence the apostle says, "He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. chap." ii. 18, 19, 22, 23. These were the seducers in the then present day; and these are those of whom he is here speaking; Beloved, believe not every spirit, hut try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

The apostle John wrote his three New Testament letters in a bold, direct, even dogmatic manner--more so perhaps than any other New Testament writer. Although renowned traditionally as the apostle of love, he was an authoritative, uncompromising teacher.

B.F. Westcott's classic work on the Greek text of the Gospel of John was the fruit of forty years of research, the book having been commissioned around 1860 and published posthumously by his son. The Greek text is that of Westcott and Hort. Readings of select Greek uncial manuscripts are placed beneath the text in the case of textual variants noted in the Introduction, and all the more important readings are treated in special critical notes, which are indexed.
