On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Those that are so assured may have holy boldness or confidence towards God; they may appeal to him from the censures and condemnation of the world. The way to arrive at the knowledge of our own truth and uprightness in Christianity, and to secure our inward peace, is to abound in love and in the works of love towards the Christian brethren.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

hereby--Greek, "herein"; in our loving in deed and in truth (1Jo 3:18). we know--The oldest manuscripts have "we shall know," namely, if we fulfil the command (1Jo 3:18). of the truth--that we are real disciples of, and belonging to, the truth, as it is in Jesus: begotten of God with the word of truth.
