1 John 4

1BelovedG27, believeG4100 not every spiritG4151, but prove the spiritsG4151, whether they areG1510 of GodG2316; because manyG4183 falseG5578 prophetsG5578 areG1510 goneG1831 out into the worldG2889. 2Hereby knowG1097 ye the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316: every spiritG4151 that confesseth that JesusG2424 ChristG5547 isG1510 comeG2064 in the fleshG4561 isG1510 of GodG2316: 3and every spiritG4151 that confesseth not JesusG2424 isG1510 not of GodG2316: and this isG1510 the spiritG4151 of the antichristG500, whereof ye have heardG191 that it cometh; and nowG3568 it isG1510 in the worldG2889 alreadyG2235. 4Ye areG1510 of GodG2316, my littleG5040 children, and have overcomeG3528 them: because greaterG3173 isG1510 he that isG1510 in you than he that isG1510 in the worldG2889. 5They areG1510 of the worldG2889: therefore speakG2980 they as of the worldG2889, and the worldG2889 heareth them. 6We areG1510 of GodG2316: he that knoweth GodG2316 heareth us; he who isG1510 not of GodG2316 heareth us not. By this we knowG1097 the spiritG4151 of truthG225, and the spiritG4151 of errorG4106.

7BelovedG27, let us loveG26 oneG240 another: for loveG26 isG1510 of GodG2316; and every oneG240 that loveth isG1510 begottenG1080 of GodG2316, and knoweth GodG2316. 8He that loveth not knoweth not GodG2316; for GodG2316 isG1510 loveG26. 9Herein was the loveG26 of GodG2316 manifestedG5319 in us, that GodG2316 hath sentG649 his onlyG3439 begottenG3439 SonG5207 into the worldG2889 that we might liveG2198 through him. 10Herein isG1510 loveG26, not that we lovedG25 GodG2316, but that he lovedG25 us, and sentG649 his SonG5207 to beG1510 the propitiationG2434 for our sinsG266. 11BelovedG27, if GodG2316 so lovedG25 us, we alsoG2532 oughtG3784 to loveG25 oneG240 another. 12No man hath beheld GodG2316 at any timeG4455: if we loveG26 oneG3762 another, GodG2316 abideth in us, and his loveG26 isG1510 perfectedG5048 in us: 13hereby we knowG1097 that we abideG3306 in him and he in us, because he hath givenG1325 us of his SpiritG4151. 14And we have beheld and bearG3140 witnessG3140 that the FatherG3962 hath sentG649 the SonG5207 to be the Saviour of the worldG2889. 15Whosoever shall confessG3670 that JesusG2424 isG1510 the SonG5207 of GodG2316, GodG2316 abideth in him, and he in GodG2316. 16And we knowG1097 and have believedG4100 the loveG26 which GodG2316 hath in us. GodG2316 isG1510 loveG26; and he that abideth in loveG26 abideth in GodG2316, and GodG2316 abideth in him. 17Herein isG1510 loveG26 madeG5048 perfectG5048 with us, that we may have boldnessG3954 in the dayG2250 of judgmentG2920; because as he isG1510, evenG2532 soG2443 areG1510 we in this worldG2889. 18There isG1510 no fearG5401 in loveG26: but perfectG5046 loveG26 casteth out fearG5401, because fearG5401 hath punishmentG2851; and he that feareth isG1510 not madeG5048 perfectG5046 in loveG26. 19We loveG25, because he firstG4413 lovedG25 us. 20If a man sayG3004, I loveG25 GodG2316, and hateth his brotherG80, he isG1510 a liarG5583: for he that loveth not his brotherG80 whom he hath seenG3708, cannot loveG25 GodG2316 whom he hath not seenG3708. 21And this commandmentG1785 have we from him, that he who loveth GodG2316 loveG25 his brotherG80 alsoG2532.
