God’s Word Translation
1 John 4:2-5
2This is how you can recognize God’s Spirit: Every person who declares that Jesus Christ has come as a human has the Spirit that is from God.
3But every person who doesn’t declare that Jesus Christ has come as a human has a spirit that isn’t from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist that you have heard is coming. That spirit is already in the world.
4Dear children, you belong to God. So you have won the victory over these people, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.
5These people belong to the world. That’s why they speak the thoughts of the world, and the world listens to them.
