1 Juan 2:26 Meaning and Commentary

1 John 2:26

These [things] have I written unto you
The little children, who were most likely to be imposed upon by antichrists and deceivers:

concerning them that seduce you.
The Syriac, Arabic, and Ethiopic versions render it, "for them that seduce you"; not that they were actually seduced and carried away with the error of the wicked; for though God's elect may be staggered and waver, and be tossed to and fro by false teachers, and their doctrines, yet they cannot be totally and finally deceived: but the sense is, these men endeavoured to seduce them: they lay in wait to deceive, and attempted to deceive them, by walking in craftiness, and handling the word of God deceitfully; and therefore that they might be known, and so shunned and avoided, the apostle points them out, and shows who they are; that they are such who deny that Jesus is the Christ, and do not own neither the Father nor the Son; in doing which he acted the part of a tender Father, a faithful shepherd, and a careful monitor.

1 Juan 2:26 In-Context

24 Permanezca en ustedes lo que han oído desde el principio, y así ustedes permanecerán también en el Hijo y en el Padre.

25 Esta es la promesa que él nos dio: la vida eterna.

26 Estas cosas les escribo acerca de los que procuran engañarlos.

27 En cuanto a ustedes, la unción que de él recibieron permanece en ustedes, y no necesitan que nadie les enseñe. Esa unción es auténtica —no es falsa— y les enseña todas las cosas. Permanezcan en él, tal y como él les enseñó.

28 Y ahora, queridos hijos, permanezcamos en él para que, cuando se manifieste, podamos presentarnos ante él confiadamente, seguros de no ser avergonzados en su venida.
