1 Giovanni 4:13 Meaning and Commentary

1 John 4:13

Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us
That there is a communion between God and us, and a communication of his love and grace to us, and an exercise of grace upon him; for God dwells in his people by his Spirit and grace, and they dwell in him by the exercise of faith and love upon him: and this is known,

because he hath given us of his Spirit:
not of the essence and nature of the Spirit, which is the same with the nature of the Father and of the Son, and is incommunicable; but either of the gifts of the Spirit, which are divided to every man as he pleases, and which being bestowed on men, and used by them, for the profit and advantage of the church of God, show that God is with them, and dwells among them of a truth; or of the graces of the Spirit, such as faith, hope, and love, which are each the gifts of God; and these being bestowed and exercised, are proofs of the mutual indwelling of God and his people; (See Gill on 1 John 3:24).

1 Giovanni 4:13 In-Context

11 Diletti, se Iddio ci ha così amati, ancor noi ci dobbiamo amar gli uni gli altri.

12 Niuno vide giammai Iddio; se noi ci amiamo gli uni gli altri, Iddio dimora in noi, e la sua carità è compiuta in noi.

13 Per questo conosciamo che dimoriamo in lui, ed egli in noi: perciocchè egli ci ha donato del suo Spirito.

14 E noi siamo stati spettatori, e testimoniamo che il Padre ha mandato il Figliuolo, per essere Salvatore del mondo.

15 Chi avrà confessato che Gesù è il Figliuol di Dio, Iddio dimora in lui, ed egli in Dio.
