1 John 2:2 [1] Lit through.
1 John 2:2 [1] Lit through.
1 John 2:20 [2] Like ROM 9:20-23, the analogy here has its roots in OT poetry (e.g. PS 31:12; PRO 26:23) and prophecy (e.g. ISA 45:9; JER 18:2-6). Paul speaks of believers and unbelievers in Rom 9, but here he seems to be describing God's household or family, in which all the vessels (containers, utensils) represent believers. While the objects in ROM 9:21 do not change, the vessels here are capable of changing their status and the use to which God puts them by keeping themselves from sinful behavior and influences (v 21).
