SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:13

Estas cosas he escrito a vosotros que creis en el Nombre del Hijo de Dios; para que sepis que tenis vida eterna, y para que creis en el Nombre del Hijo de Dios.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 John 5:13

Verse 13. That ye may know that ye have
eternal life] I write to show your privileges-to lead you into this holy of holies- to show what believing on the Son of God is, by the glorious effects it produces: it is not a blind reliance for, but an actual enjoyment of, salvation; Christ living, working, and reigning in the heart.

And that ye may believe] That is, continue to believe: for Christ dwells in the heart only by FAITH, and faith lives only by LOVE, and love continues only by OBEDIENCE; he who BELIEVES loves, and he who LOVES obeys.

He who obeys loves; he who loves believes; he who believes has the witness in himself: he who has this witness has Christ in his heart, the hope of glory; and he who believes, loves, and obeys, has Christ in his heart, and is a man of prayer.


John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 13. These things have I written unto you , &c.] Which are contained in the epistle in general, and particularly what is written in the context, concerning the victory of the world, being ascribed to him who believes that Christ is the Son of God; and concerning the six witnesses of his sonship, and the record bore by God, that the gift of eternal life is in him: and which are especially written to them, that believe on the name of the Son of God ; who not only believed that Christ is the Son of God, which this six fold testimony would confirm them in, but also believed in his name for righteousness, life, and salvation; in which name there is all this, and in no other; and who also professed their faith in him, and were baptized in his name, and continued believing in him, and holding fast their profession of him. The end of writing these things to them was, that ye may know that ye have eternal life ; that there is such a thing as eternal life; that this is in Christ; that believers have it in him, and the beginning of it in themselves; and that they have a right unto it, and meetness for it, and shall certainly enjoy it; the knowledge of which is had by faith, under the testimony of the Spirit of God, and particularly what is above written concerning eternal life, being a free grace gift of God; and this being in Christ, and the assurance of it, that such who have him, or believe in him, have that which might serve to communicate, cultivate, and increase such knowledge: and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God ; which they had done already, and still did; the sense is, the above things were written to them concerning the Son of God, that they might be encouraged to continue believing in him, as such; to hold fast the faith of him and go on believing in him to the end; and that their faith in him might be increased; for faith is imperfect and is capable of increasing, and growing exceedingly: and nothing more tends unto, or is a more proper means of it, than the sacred writings, the reading and hearing them explained, and especially that part of them which respects the person, office, and grace of Christ. The Alexandrian copy, and one of Beza's manuscripts, the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, and Ethiopic versions, read, these things have I written unto you, that ye may know that ye have eternal life, who believe in the name of the Son of God.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 13-17 - Upon all this evidence, it is but right that we believe on the name of the Son of
God. Believers have eternal life in the covenant of the gospel. Then let us thankfully receive the record of Scripture. Alway abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that our labour is not in vain in the Lord. The Lord Christ invites us to come to him in all circumstances, with our supplications and requests, notwithstanding the sin that besets us. Our prayers must always be offered in submission to the will of God. In some things they are speedily answered; in other they are granted in the best manner, though not as requested. We ough to pray for others, as well as for ourselves. There are sins that wa against spiritual life in the soul, and the life above. We cannot pra that the sins of the impenitent and unbelieving should, while they ar such, be forgiven them; or that mercy, which supposes the forgivenes of sins, should be granted to them, while they wilfully continue such But we may pray for their repentance, for their being enriched with faith in Christ, and thereupon for all other saving mercies. We shoul pray for others, as well as for ourselves, beseeching the Lord to pardon and recover the fallen, as well as to relieve the tempted an afflicted. And let us be truly thankful that no sin, of which any on truly repents, is unto death.

Vincent's NT Word Studies

13. Have I written (egraya). Lit., I wrote. John speaks as looking back over his
Epistle and recalling the aim with which he wrote. See on ii. 13. May know (eidhte). Not perceive (ginwskein), but know with settled and absolute knowledge. See on John ii. 24.

Ye have eternal life (zwhn ecete aiwnion). The Greek order is peculiar, "ye may know that life ye have eternal." The adjective eternal is added as an after-thought. So Westcott: "that ye have life - yes, eternal life."

Unto you that believe. In the A.V., these words follow have I written. The Rev. follows the Greek order. The words, like eternal, above, are added as an after-thought, defining the character of the persons addressed. On the name (eiv to onoma). See on John ii. 23; i. 12.
