约翰一书 4:3 Meaning and Commentary

1 John 4:3

And every spirit that confesseth not
The proper deity and sonship of Christ, his true and real humanity, and his Messiahship; or any of his offices, doctrines, and ordinances; or his satisfaction and righteousness; or that peace, pardon, justification, life, and salvation, are by him; all which are meant by what follows,

that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh:
this clause is left out in the Ethiopic version, and that without hurting the sense, since it is easily supplied from the preceding verse; and the Alexandrian copy, and the Vulgate Latin version, only read "Jesus": and the latter reads the whole thus, "and every spirit that dissolves Jesus"; that separates the two natures, human and divine, in him, and makes two persons of them; or denies either of them, either that he is truly God, or really man, or denies him to be Jesus, the Saviour; who, as much as in him lies, destroys his person, office, and work, and makes void his obedience, sufferings, and death:

is not of God;
neither he nor his doctrine are of God; his doctrine cannot come from God, being contrary to the word of God; and he himself is neither born of God, nor on his side.

And this is that [spirit] of antichrist:
who is against Christ, or opposes himself to him; as he who denies his sonship, his deity, his humanity, his offices, and his grace, manifestly does; every doctrine that is calculated against these truths is the spirit and doctrine of antichrist:

whereof you have heard that it should come, and even now already is
it the world;
in the false teachers, the forerunners of antichrist; (See Gill on 1 John 2:18).

1 亲 爱 的 弟 兄 阿 , 一 切 的 灵 , 你 们 不 可 都 信 , 总 要 试 验 那 些 灵 是 出 於 神 的 不 是 , 因 为 世 上 有 许 多 假 先 知 已 经 出 来 了 。
2 凡 灵 认 耶 稣 基 督 是 成 了 肉 身 来 , 就 是 出 於 神 的 的 ; 从 此 你 们 可 以 认 出 神 的 灵 来 。
3 凡 灵 不 认 耶 稣 , 就 不 是 出 於 神 ; 这 是 那 敌 基 督 者 的 灵 。 你 们 从 前 听 见 他 要 来 , 现 在 已 经 在 世 上 了 。
4 小 子 们 哪 , 你 们 是 属 神 的 , 并 且 胜 了 他 们 ; 因 为 那 在 你 们 里 面 的 , 比 那 在 世 界 上 的 更 大 。
5 他 们 是 属 世 界 的 , 所 以 论 世 界 的 事 , 世 人 也 听 从 他 们 。
