【413．约翰提及三种不同的“谎言”，有何背景？】
约翰在本书信第一章及第二章曾提及“谎言”“自欺”及“以神为说谎”这三种有关“谎言”的事如下；
一、若说与神相交，却仍在黑暗中行，就是说谎话的。（一章6节）
二、若说自己无罪，便是自欺。（8节）
三、若说自己没有犯过罪，便是以神为说谎的。（10节）
四、若说我认识他，却不遵守他的诫命，便是说谎话的。（二章4节）
五、谁是说谎话的呢？不是不认耶稣为基督的么？（22节）
六、人若说，我爱神，却恨他的弟兄，就是说谎话的。（四章20节）
这六次有关谎言的事，可分为三类：
①口说信神，行为却犯罪的人，乃是说谎话的。
②口说信耶稣，但又否认他为基督，也是说谎话的。
③口说爱神，却恨他弟兄，也是说谎话的。
约翰所题这些说谎话的人，完全是针对上述那些制造异端的所谓知识派。他们比耶稣时代的法利赛人更厉害。法利赛人是公开与耶稣作对的，敌我分清，容易使信耶稣的人清楚分辨法利赛人的罪行。但知识派乃是渗透在当时的教会中，甚难使人分辨。约翰在这里所用“我们若说”及“人若说”等语气，很可能就是这些假冒为善的知识派所常用的句子。
知识派中有人主张纵欲，以为肉体不过是灵魂外面的“包裹”，所以肉体犯罪，并不影响灵魂的圣洁。但约翰在本书信中斥责这些说谎话的。本书信第二、第三章便是约翰针对这种“肉体犯罪并不影响灵魂圣洁”的谬论。
── 苏佐扬《圣经难题》
※ 约翰书信，乃是所有书信中最迟写的。当所有的书信，注重在神面前的信心的时候，它注重在神面前实际的行为。所有的书信都在那里讲信的时候，约翰给我们看见说，信的人必须有凭据，就是爱。── 倪柝声《初信造就》
