And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in wickedness.
All Commentaries on 1 John 5:19 Go To 1 John 5
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
And the whole world is seated in wickedness; i.e. a great part of the world. It may also signify, is under the wicked one; meaning the devil, who is elsewhere called the prince of this world, that is, of all the wicked. (John xii. 31.) (Witham)
