| A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
These things-- (Jo1 2:18-25).
have I written--resumed from Jo1 2:21 and Jo1 2:14.
seduce you--that is, are trying to seduce or lead you into error. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you - Respecting their character, and in order to guard you against their arts. The word "seduce" means to lead astray; and it here refers to those who would seduce them "from the truth," or lead them into dangerous error. The apostle does not mean that they had actually seduced them, for he states in the following verse that they were yet safe; but he refers to the fact that there was danger that they might be led into error. |
