ACC ~ 1 John 2 v14

THE WORD ABIDES IN YOU. ORIGEN: In my opinion, if someone is a child inside, then he will appear to be a child on the outside as well, however old he is. The same is true of someone who is an overgrown teenager. But it also follows from this that anyone can be an adult and parent on the inside, whatever age they may be. CATENA.

YOU HAVE OVERCOME. CLEMENT OF ALEXANDRIA: By strong “young men” John means those who have overcome their lusts. ADUMBRATIONS.

THE MODEL OF COURAGE. CYRIL OF ALEXANDRIA: The young men are a model of courage, the elders are a model of understanding, and the sons and daughters are a model of what it means to be children in Christ. CATENA.

YOU KNOW HIM WHO IS FROM THE BEGINNING. BEDE: Remember that you are fathers, says John. If you forget him who is from the beginning, then you will lose that status. Never forget that you are still young men, which means that you must go on fighting until you win the battle and receive the crown of victory. Be humble, so as not to be killed in battle. ON 1 JOHN.
