1 Corinthians 8:3

3 si quis autem diligit Deum hic cognitus est ab eo

1 Corinthians 8:3 Meaning and Commentary

1 Corinthians 8:3

But if any man love God
As they do, and show it, who love their brethren, and are careful not to grieve them; and make use of their superior knowledge, not for their destruction, but edification:

the same is known of him;
is taught by him, made to know more by him; such an one increases in spiritual knowledge, or he is highly approved of, esteemed, and beloved by God: he takes a special and particular notice of him, manifests his love to him, and will own and acknowledge him another day, when proud, haughty, overbearing, and hard hearted professors, will be rejected by him.
