 The wicked one is thus overcome; for he has only the world to present to our lusts: and the Word abiding in us keeps us in an altogether different sphere of thought in which a different nature is enlightened and strengthened by divine communications. (1 John 2 by J.N. Darby)
 {fathers} All right experience ends in forgetting self and thinking of Christ. (Notes on 1 John 2:12-28 by J.N. Darby)
 That is the word by which Christ Himself overcame, when the wicked one came and offered Him all the kingdoms of the world, He answered by the word—He overcame the wicked one. (Notes on 1 John 2:12-28 by J.N. Darby)
