"Whoever": In 1 John

Last week I posted some notes on the "if . . . then" clauses in 1 John. John uses a similar formula with a construction translated in English as "whoever": whoever does or does not do X, then Y is true or commanded of him. Here is a breakdown along these lines (using the ESV).

Whoever: Righteousness

2:5
Whoever
keeps [Christ's]  word
in him truly the love of God is perfected


2:6
Whoever
says he abides in [Christ]
ought to walk in the same way in which he walked


2:10
Whoever
loves his brother abides in the light, and in him there is no cause for stumbling.
abides in the light, and in him there is no cause for stumbling


2:17
Whoever
does the will of God
abides forever


2:23
Whoever
confesses the Son

practices righteousness

3:24
Whoever
keep[God's]  commandments

4:6
Whoever
knows God
listens to us


4:7
Whoever
loves
has been born of God and knows God


4:15
Whoever
confesses that Jesus is the Son of God
God abides in him, and he in God.


4:16
Whoever
abides in love
abides in God, and God abides in him


4:18
Whoever
fears
has not been perfected in love


4:21
Whoever
loves God
must also love his brother


5:12
Whoever
has the Son
has life

Whoever: Unrighteousness

2:4
Whoever
says "I know [Christ]" but does not keep his commandments
is a liar, and the truth is not in him


2:11
Whoever
hates his brother
is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going


3:8
Whoever
makes a practice of sinning
is of the devil


3:10
Whoever
does not practice righteousness
is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother


3:14
Whoever
does not love
abides in death


4:6
Whoever
is not from God

5:10

does not believe God
