1 Giovanni 5:19 Meaning and Commentary

1 John 5:19

[And] we know that we are of God
The sons of God, and regenerated by him; this is known by the Spirit of God, which witnesses to the spirits of the saints that they are the children of God; and by the fruits and effects of regenerating grace, as love to the brethren, and the like:

and the whole world lies in wickedness;
that is, the men of the world, the greater part of the inhabitants of it, who are as they were when they came into it, not being born of God; these are addicted to sin and, wickedness; the bias of their minds is to it, they are set upon it, and give themselves up to it, are immersed in it, and are under the power of it: or "in the wicked one"; Satan, the god of this world; they are under his influence, and led according to his will, and they are governed by him, and are at his beck and command; and this is known, by sad experience, it is easy of observation;

``And cannot comprehend the things that are promised to the righteous in time to come: for this world is full of unrighteousness and infirmities.'' (2 Esdras 4:27)

1 Giovanni 5:19 In-Context

17 Ogni iniquità è peccato; e v’è un peccato che non mena a morte.
18 Noi sappiamo che chiunque è nato da Dio non pecca; ma colui che nacque da Dio lo preserva, e il maligno non lo tocca.
19 Noi sappiamo che siam da Dio, e che tutto il mondo giace nel maligno;
20 ma sappiamo che il Figliuol di Dio è venuto e ci ha dato intendimento per conoscere Colui che è il vero; e noi siamo in Colui che è il vero Dio, nel suo Figliuolo Gesù Cristo. Quello è il vero Dio e la vita eterna.
21 Figliuoletti, guardatevi dagl’idoli.
