1 John 4:5

5. of the world—They derive their spirit and teaching from the world, "unregenerate human nature, ruled over and possessed by Satan, the prince of this world" [ALFORD].

speak they of the word—They draw the matter of their conversation from the life, opinions, and feelings of the world.

the world heareth them— (Joh 15:18, 19). The world loves its own.
