SEV Biblia, Chapter 3:13
Hermanos míos, no os maravilléis si el mundo os aborrece.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 John 3:13
Verse 13. Marvel not-if the world hate you.] Expect no better treatment from unconverted Jews and Gentiles than Hebel received from his wicked and cruel brother. This was a lesson to the Church, preparatory to martyrdom. Expect neither justice nor mercy from the men who are enemies of God. They are either full of malice and envy, hateful, hating one another, or they are specious, hollow, false, and deceitful. "A foe to GOD was ne'er true friend to MAN."
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 13. Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you .] By “the world” is meant the inhabitants of the world, the wicked part of them; these hate the saints, though without a cause, any just cause, and for no other reason, but because they are chosen and called out of the world, and do not live the wicked life they do: and this hatred of theirs is not at all to be wondered at; so it was from the beginning, and has been in all ages since; immediately upon the fall there was enmity between the seed of the woman and the seed of the serpent, which showed itself in Cain, the instance just given, who hated and murdered his righteous brother; Ishmael, that was born after the flesh, persecuted Isaac, that was born after the Spirit; and as it was then, it is now, the Jews persecuted the prophets of old, and hated Christ and his apostles. This is the common lot of all the saints, of all that will live godly in Christ Jesus; and therefore it should not be reckoned a strange and unusual thing; it always was so, even from the beginning, as soon as ever there were two sorts of persons, good and bad, righteous and wicked. This is a corollary or conclusion drawn from the above instance of Cain.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 11-15 - We should love the Lord Jesus, value his love, and therefore love all our brethren in Christ. This love is the special fruit of our faith and a certain sign of our being born again. But none who rightly know the heart of man, can wonder at the contempt and enmity of ungodl people against the children of God. We know that we are passed from death to life: we may know it by the evidences of our faith in Christ of which love to our brethren is one. It is not zeal for a party in the common religion, or affection for those who are of the same name an sentiments with ourselves. The life of grace in the heart of regenerate person, is the beginning and first principle of a life of glory, whereof they must be destitute who hate their brother in their hearts.
