On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. Grace be with you, and peace from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, 2 John 3 . Then, [2.] The name the Word is known to be almost (if not quite) peculiar to this apostle.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience towards God, 1 Pet. iii. 21 . [3.] The third witness is the blood; this he shed, and this was our ransom. This testifies for Jesus Christ, First, In that it sealed up and finished the sacrifices of the Old Testament, Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us.
