1 Yohanes 2:10

2:10 The one who loves his fellow Christian ¹  resides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him. ² 

1 Yohanes 5:19

5:19 We know that we are from God, ³  and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.

[2:10]  ¹ tn See note on the term “fellow Christian” in 2:9.

[2:10]  ² tn The third person pronoun αὐτῷ (autw) could refer either (1) to the person who loves his brother or (2) to the light itself which has no cause for stumbling “in it.” The following verse (2:11) views darkness as operative within a person, and the analogy with Ps 119:165, which says that the person who loves God’s law does not stumble, expresses a similar concept in relation to an individual. This evidence suggests that the person is the referent here.

[5:19]  ³ tn The preposition ἐκ (ek) here indicates both source and possession: Christians are “from” God in the sense that they are begotten by him, and they belong to him. For a similar use of the preposition compare the phrases ἐκ τοῦ πατρός (ek tou patro") and ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου (ek tou kosmou) in 1 John 2:16.
