ACC ~ 1 John 4 v6

TO HEAR TRULY IS TO DO. DIDYMUS THE BLIND: If we take the word hear literally, it is clear that this cannot be true, since everybody can pick up the sounds of the words. It is therefore clear that the word means something more than that—it means that we should do what we hear. If someone does not know that he is supposed to act, he has not really heard. COMMENTARY ON 1 JOHN.

DISTINGUISHING TRUTH AND ERROR. BEDE: The carnal man does not accept the things which are of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him. Therefore, those who do not want to listen to the preachers of love are soon recognized as not knowing God or coming from him, because they have done nothing to imitate the love which God has toward us. ON 1 JOHN.
