Whosoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and everyone that loves him that begat loves him also that is begotten of him.
All Commentaries on 1 John 5:1 Go To 1 John 5
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Eum qui genuit, ton gennesanta, generantem; which, in English, may be translated, the Father. Ver. 20. In vero Filio ejus, hic est verus Deus, en to alethino uio autou, outos estin o alethinos Theos, with the Greek article. St. Athanasius, St. Ambrose, St. Hilary, St. Augustine, St. Cyril by this sentence prove Christ truly God. See Petavius, lib. 2. de Trin. chap. ix. num. 8.
