Darby Translation Notes1 John 4

1:2 report (b-15) which (c-21) Hostis. as Matt. 7.24. The character, not merely the statement of the fact, 'which was such a one as that.'

4:2 know (a-3) Ginosko. and so throughout chapter. see 1Cor. 8.1.

4:7 begotten (b-19) Or 'is born.' as ch. 3.9.

4:9 us (c-4) 'In our case,' in respect of us. The idea of the love of God remains absolute. only it has been shown 'as respects us in this,' &c.

4:12 us. (d-24) En, 'of which we are the objects;' but it is more than 'towards.'

4:16 to (d-13) En, 'of which we are the objects;' but it is more than 'towards.'
