ACC ~ 1 John 3 v7

LET NO ONE DECEIVE YOU. HILARY OF ARLES: Let no one deceive you by saying that there is nothing wrong with sin. The devil has sinned all along because there is no truth in him. He is the ultimate deceiver.INTRODUCTORY COMMENTARY ON 1 JOHN.

FACE AND MIRROR IMAGE. BEDE: It goes without saying that we can never be righteous in the same full way that God is righteous. The difference between God’s righteousness and ours is the difference between the face of a man and its image in a mirror. There is a certain resemblance, but the two substances are completely different. The comparison is not at all the same as the vague resemblance between the Father and the Son, because they share a common substance. ON 1 JOHN.

RIGHTEOUS OR WICKED. OECUMENIUS: Do not be confused about this. The person who does what is right is righteous, and the person who does what is wrong is wicked. It is as simple as that. COMMENTARY ON 1 JOHN.
