 What marvelous grace to have received a life, a nature, by which we are enabled to enjoy God Himself, who dwells in us, and by which, since it is in Christ, we are, in fact, in the enjoyment of this communion, this relationship with God! (1 John 3 by J.N. Darby)
 Practical righteousness or obedience, the love of the brethren, the manifestation of the Spirit of God, are the proofs of our relationship to God. He who obeys the Lord’s commandments in practical righteousness dwells in Him, and He in him. The Spirit given is the proof that He dwells in us. (1 John 3 by J.N. Darby)
 In the obedient man God dwells as in Christ Himself. (Notes on 1 John 3:11-24 and 4:1-7 by J.N. Darby)

It is one of the drawbacks of our beautiful KJV that the translators cannot let the same word go on unaltered even in the same context; so fond are they of bringing the change on the same word. Most who know only the English version would suppose that there must be some shade of difference between "dwell" and "abide." But the Greek gives only the same word. It is the more regrettable, because there is a distinct word for "dwell" which has its own propriety of application. Is it not far better for the English reader also to have the same word? Here it signifies little save to remember that the "dwelling" and the "abiding" mean the same thing.
