Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Vosotros sois de Dios - Ustedes son de su familia; has abrazado su verdad y bebido su Espíritu.

Niños pequeños - Notas, 1 Juan 2:1.

Y los has superado - Han triunfado sobre sus artes y tentaciones; sus esfuerzos por llevarte al error y al pecado. La palabra ellos en este lugar parece referirse a los falsos profetas o maestros que colectivamente constituyeron el anticristo. El significado es que habían frustrado o frustrado todos sus intentos de alejarlos de la verdad.

Porque mayor es el que está en ti que el que está en el mundo - Dios, que habita en tus corazones, y por cuya fuerza y ​​gracia solo tienes Ha sido habilitado para lograr esta victoria, es más poderoso que Satanás, que gobierna en los corazones de las personas de este mundo, y cuyas artes seductoras se ven en los esfuerzos de estos falsos maestros. El apóstol tenía la intención de decir que no fue por su propio poder que lograron esta victoria, sino que se debió a que Dios moraba entre ellos y los había preservado por su gracia. Lo que era verdad entonces, es verdad ahora. El que habita en los corazones de los cristianos por su Espíritu, es infinitamente más poderoso que Satanás, "el gobernante de la oscuridad de este mundo". y la victoria, por lo tanto, sobre todas sus artes y tentaciones puede estar segura. En sus conflictos con el pecado, la tentación y el error, el cristiano nunca debe desesperarse, porque su Dios le asegurará la victoria.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verso 1 Juan 4:4 . Vosotros sois de Dios.  Vosotros estáis bajo la influencia del Espíritu Divino, y los habéis vencido; vuestro testimonio, procedente del Espíritu de Cristo, ha invalidado el de ellos, que ha procedido de la influencia de Satanás; porque mayor es el Espíritu Santo que está en vosotros, que el espíritu que está en el mundo .
