1 John 4:1-8
1BelovedG27, do not believeG3361G4100 everyG3956 spiritG4151, butG235 testG1381 theG3588 spiritsG4151 to see whetherG1487 they areG1510 fromG1537 GodG2316. ForG3754 manyG4183 false prophetsG5578 have gone outG1831 intoG1519 theG3588 worldG2889. 2ByG1722 thisG3778 you will knowG1097 theG3588 SpiritG4151 of GodG2316: EveryG3956 spiritG4151 thatG3739 confessesG3670 that JesusG2424 ChristG5547 has comeG2064 inG1722 the fleshG4561 isG1510 fromG1537 GodG2316, 3andG2532 everyG3956 spiritG4151 thatG3739 does not confessG3361G3670 JesusG24241 isG1510 notG3756 fromG1537 GodG2316. ThisG3778 isG1510 theG3588 spirit of theG3588 antichristG500, whichG3739 you have heardG191 is comingG2064 andG2532 which isG1510 alreadyG2235 inG1722 theG3588 worldG2889 at this timeG3568.
4YouG4771, little childrenG5040, areG1510 fromG1537 GodG2316 andG2532 have overcomeG3528 themG846, becauseG3754 greaterG3173 isG1510 He whoG3588 is inG1722 youG4771 thanG2228 he whoG3588 is inG1722 theG3588 worldG2889. 5TheyG846 areG1510 ofG1537 theG3588 worldG2889. That is whyG1223G3778 they speakG2980 from theG3588 world’sG2889 perspectiveG1537, andG2532 theG3588 worldG2889 listens toG191 themG846. 6WeG1473 areG1510 fromG1537 GodG2316. WhoeverG3588 knowsG1097 GodG2316 listens toG191 usG1473; whoeverG3739 isG1510 notG3756 fromG1537 GodG2316 does not listen toG3756G191 usG1473. That is howG1537G3778 we knowG1097 theG3588 SpiritG41512 of truthG225 andG2532 theG3588 spiritG4151 of deceptionG4106.
7BelovedG27, let us loveG25 one anotherG240, becauseG3754 loveG26 comesG1510 fromG1537 GodG2316. EveryoneG3956 whoG3588 lovesG25 has been bornG1080 ofG1537 GodG2316 andG2532 knowsG1097 GodG2316. 8WhoeverG3588 does not loveG3361G25 does not knowG3756G1097 GodG2316, becauseG3754 GodG2316 isG1510 loveG26.
