    • Augustine's Homily 10 on 1 John 5:1-10.
      • "Where remission of sins, there the Church is."
    • From the Geneva Notes.
      • "The love of our neighbour depends on the love with which we love God, that this last must go before the first: of which it follows, that that is not to be called love, when men agree together to do evil, neither that, when as in loving our neighbours, we do not respect God's commandments."
    • From Matthew Henry's Commentary.
      • "True love for the people of God, may be distinguished from natural kindness or party attachments, by its being united with the love of God, and obedience to his commands."
    • From Wesley's Notes.
      • "The seventh verse 1Jo 5:7 (usually so reckoned) is a brief recapitulation of all which has been before advanced concerning the Father, the Son, and the Spirit. It is cited, in conjunction with the sixth and eighth, 1Jo 5:6,8 by Tertullian, Cyprian, and an uninterrupted train of Fathers. And, indeed, what the sun is in the world, what the heart is in a man, what the needle is in the mariner's compass, this verse is in the epistle."
    • From the Commentary on the Whole Bible (Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
      • "He could not be our "Jesus" (God-Saviour) unless He were "the Christ"; for He could not reveal the way of salvation, except He were a prophet: He could not work out that salvation, except He were a priest: He could not confer that salvation upon us, except He were a king: He could not be prophet, priest, and king, except He were the Christ [PEARSON, Exposition of the Creed]."
    • From The People's New Testament, B.W. Johnson, 1891
      • "The water and the blood refer primarily to the baptism that revealed him at the beginning of his earthly ministry and the blood which he shed at its close."
  • Contemporary Commentary, Studies, and Exegesis:
    • Comments (commentary) and Clippings (technical notes for in-depth study), Chris Haslam, Anglican Diocese of Montreal.
    • "First Thoughts on Year B Epistle Passages in the Lectionary: Easter 6," William Loader, Murdoch University, Uniting Church in Australia.
      • "Denying the humanity of Jesus is often associated with denying other people's humanity and our own."
    • "The Other World Is Here," Walter Wink, The Christian Century, 1994.
      • "The love of God, then, is the ultimate liberating fact. To be loved, not despite our sins or because of our achievements, but simply because we are intrinsically of immeasurable value to God, undermines the Domination System's power to convince people that their value is merely derivative."
    • 1 John 5:1-6, A River Ride with 1 John: Texts of the Easter Season, Robert M. Brusic, Word & World Texts in Context, Luther Northwestern Theological Seminary, 1997.
