1 John 5:13

Have I written [ε γ ρ α ψ α]. Lit., I wrote. John speaks as looking back over his Epistle and recalling the aim with which he wrote. See on 2 13. May know [ε ι δ η τ ε]. Not perceive [γ ι ν ω σ κ ε ι ν], but know with settled and absolute knowledge. See on John 2:24.

Ye have eternal life [ζ ω η ν ε χ ε τ ε α ι ω ν ι ο ν]. The Greek order is peculiar, "ye may know that life ye have eternal." The adjective eternal is added as an after - thought. So Westcott : "that ye have life - yes, eternal life."

Unto you that believe. In the A. V., these words follow have I written. The Rev. follows the Greek order. The words, like eternal, above, are added as an after - thought, defining the character of the persons addressed. On the name [ε ι ς τ ο ο ν ο μ α]. See on John 2:23; John 1:12.
