Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 19. - In this; or, hereby ἐν τούτῳ, here clearly refers to what precedes; and the thought is similar to that in verse 14. By sincere and active love we shall come to know γνωσόμεθα that we are children of the truth. "The truth" here is almost equivalent to "God;" and we seem to have here an echo of Christ's words to Pilate, "Everyone that is of the truth heareth my voice" (comp. 1 John 2:21; John 3:31; John 8:23, 47, etc.). The construction in what follows contains several doubtful points: (1) whether πείσομεν is coordinate with γνωσόμεθα or ἐσμέν; (2) if the former, whether ἐν τούτῳ goes on to πείσομεν, or is confined to γνωσόμεθα; (3) whether we should read ὅ τι ἐάν or ὅτι ἐὰν. . . .
