1 John 4:1-8

1BelovedG27, believeG4100 not every spiritG4151, but prove the spiritsG4151, if they areG1510 of 1GodG2316; because manyG4183 falseG5578 prophetsG5578 areG1510 goneG1831 out into the worldG2889.

2Hereby ye knowG1097 the SpiritG4151 of 2GodG2316: every spiritG4151 which confessesG3670 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 comeG2064 in fleshG4561 isG1510 of 3GodG2316;

3and every spiritG4151 which does not confessG3670 JesusG2424 Christ comeG2064 in flesh isG1510 not of 4GodG2316: and this isG1510 that [power] of the antichristG500, [of] which ye have heardG191 that it comesG2064, and nowG3568 it isG1510 alreadyG2235 in the worldG2889.

4Ye areG1510 of 5GodG2316, 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; for this reason they speakG2980 [as] of the worldG2889, and the worldG2889 hearsG191 them.

6We areG1510 of 6GodG2316; he that knowsG1097 7GodG2316 hearsG191 us; he who isG1510 not of 8GodG2316 does not hearG191 us. From this we knowG1097 the spiritG4151 of truthG225 and the spiritG4151 of errorG4106.

7BelovedG27, let us loveG26 oneG240 another; because loveG26 isG1510 of 9GodG2316, and every oneG240 that lovesG25 has beenG1510 begottenG1080 of 10GodG2316, and knowsG1097 11GodG2316.

8He that lovesG25 not has not knownG1097 12GodG2316; for 13GodG2316 isG1510 loveG26.
