These words are an answer to an objection that might arise from the former verse, why might they say, if we know all things, what need you write to us concerning such and such things? or thus, if we know all things, what need you write to us? if we know not, how can we be said to know all things? to this he answers in this vers. I write unto you, not because you know not the truth, &c wherein we have the cause of his writing.
