1 João 2:12-14
Morris - Fathers must mean those who, like John himself, were Christians from the beginning, (1Jn 2:13,14) dating from the time of Jesus' earthly ministry, and thus, presumably, older Christians both physiologically and spiritually. H A
1 João 2:24
Morris: “This section of discourse is addressed to those who believe, and yet do not believe. Clearly they were inclined to think that what Jesus said was true. But they were not prepared to yield Him the far-reaching allegiance that real trust in Him implies” (The Gospel According to John, The New International Commentary on the New Testament: Eerdmans, 1979, 454). John
1 João 2:24
Morris - "The written Word of God, according to Christ's affirmation, is that which brings salvation and eternal life (James 1:18; 1 Peter 1:23) because it is the only source of information we have about the Savior. The written Word reveals the living Word. The Lord was, in fact, speaking here of the Old Testament Scriptures, for there was nothing else at that time. These scriptures are replete with testimonies of the coming Christ." Adam
1 João 2:24
Morris: Jesus means that the disciples should live such lives that he will continue to abide in them. The two “abidings” cannot be separated, and “abiding” is the necessary prerequisite of fruitfulness. No branch bears fruit in isolation. Every fruitful branch has vital connection with the vine. So to abide in Christ is the necessary prerequisite of fruitfulness for the Christian. Fruitfulness doubtless includes both the production of Christian character and the winning of others to follow Christ; it includes everything that results from vital union with Christ. (BORROW The Gospel According to John. The New International Commentary on the New Testament) John 15:5+ "I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. Köstenberger - Initially, “remaining with Jesus” had simply meant for Jesus’ first followers to spend the night with Jesus (Jn 1:38-39). Yet already in Jn 6:56, the term occurs with a spiritual connotation. In 8:31, “remaining in Jesus” involves continual holding to his teaching. The majority of theologically significant instances of meno are found in John 14 and 15, with ten references in Jn 15:4-10 alone. The disciples must remain in Jesus, in particular in his love, by obeying his commandments (Jn 15:9-10). The vine metaphor illustrates the close-knit relationship that Jesus desires with his disciples (cf. John 10). (John. Baker exegetical commentary on the New Testament) John 15:6+ "If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire and they are burned.

1 João 2:28-29
Morris - If we "love His appearing" (2Ti 4:8+) and "look for Him" to "appear the second time" (Heb 9:28+), then naturally we will be careful to seek to please Him daily in our thoughts, words and deeds, as well as being diligent in studying His Word. (Defender's Study Bible Notes) Kenneth
