  • Chapter XXIII, On the Resurrection of the FleshTertullian (c. 211)
  • Chapter III, On Monogamy, Tertullian (c. 215)
  • Chapter II, Chapter XIX, On Modesty, Tertullian (c. 217)

  • Augustine's Homily 4 on 1 John 2:27 - 3:8.
    • "In the first place mark, what is called "Is." Ye know what it is that is so called. That which is called "Is," and not only is called but is so, is unchangeable: It ever remaineth, It cannot be changed, It is in no part corruptible: It hath neither proficiency, for It is perfect; nor hath deficiency, for It is eternal. And what is this? "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.""
  • From the Geneva Notes.
    • "This dignity is not fully revealed to us ourselves, much less to strangers, but we are sure of the accomplishment of it, in as much as we shall be like the Son of God himself and shall enjoy his sight indeed, such as he is now, but yet this is deferred until his next coming."
  • From Matthew Henry's Commentary.
    • "Little does the world know of the happiness of the real followers of Christ. Little does the world think that these poor, humble, despised ones, are favourites of God, and will dwell in heaven. Let the followers of Christ be content with hard fare here, since they are in a land of strangers, where their Lord was so badly treated before them."
  • From Wesley's Notes.
    • "For we shall see him as he is - Manifestly, without a veil. And that sight will transform us into the same likeness."
  • "The Beatific Vision: 1 John 3:2," Charles H. Spurgeon, 1856.
    • "We have I believe, all of us who love his name, a most insatiable wish to behold his person. The thing for which I would pray above all others, would be for ever to behold his face, for ever to lay my head upon his breast, for ever to know that I am his, for ever to dwell with him."
  • From the Commentary on the Whole Bible (Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
    • "None but the pure can see the infinitely Pure One. In all these passages the Greek is the same verb opsomai; not denoting the action of seeing, but the state of him to whose eye or mind the object is presented; hence the Greek verb is always in the middle or reflexive voice, to perceive and inwardly appreciate...Our spiritual bodies will appreciate and recognize spiritual beings hereafter, as our natural bodies now do natural objects."
  • "Exposition: 1 John 3:1-10," Charles H. Spurgeon.
    • "It were well if we always remembered that practical godliness is the soul of godliness; that it is not talking religion, but walking religion which proves a man to be sincere; it is not having a religious tongue, but a religious heart; it is not a religious mouth, but a religious foot."
  • From The People's New Testament, B.W. Johnson, 1891
    • "To look upon him has power to change us into his glory."
bulletContemporary Commentary, Studies, and Exegesis:
  • "First Thoughts on Year B Epistle Passages in the Lectionary: Easter 3," William Loader, Murdoch University, Uniting Church in Australia.
    • "The author might say today: no amount of doing good deeds and no amount of having impressive spiritual experiences will count for anything if it is not connected to a real change that is relational."
