Theophylact of Ohrid, on 1John 4:4

Theophylact of Ohrid · c. 1055–1107
1John 4:4 · Douay-Rheims
“You are of God, little children, and have overcome him. Because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.”
On this verse:
“Above, the apostle indicated the mark of the prophets and apostles of the Lord. Now he adds: you, being children of God, have overcome them, that is, the false prophets. Why? Because God, who is in you, is greater than he who is in the world, according to whose spirit the false prophets chose to live.”
