SEV Biblia, Chapter 3:11
¶ Porque, esta es la anunciacin que habis oído desde el principio: Que nos amemos unos a otros.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 John 3:11
Verse 11. For this is the message] See chap. i. 5. From the beginning God hath taught men that they should love one another. How essentially necessary this is to the comfort and well-being of man in this state of trial and difficulty, every sensible man must see. All are dependent upon all; all upon each, and each upon all. Mutual love makes this dependence pleasant and doubly profitable. Nothing can be more pleasing to an ingenuous and generous mind than to communicate acts of kindness.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 11-15 - We should love the Lord Jesus, value his love, and therefore love all our brethren in Christ. This love is the special fruit of our faith and a certain sign of our being born again. But none who rightly know the heart of man, can wonder at the contempt and enmity of ungodl people against the children of God. We know that we are passed from death to life: we may know it by the evidences of our faith in Christ of which love to our brethren is one. It is not zeal for a party in the common religion, or affection for those who are of the same name an sentiments with ourselves. The life of grace in the heart of regenerate person, is the beginning and first principle of a life of glory, whereof they must be destitute who hate their brother in their hearts.
