1 John 4:1-4
11BelovedG27, do not believeG4100 everyG3956 2spiritG4151, but testG1381 the spiritsG4151 to see whetherG1487 they are from GodG2316, becauseG3754 3manyG4183 falseG5578 prophetsG5578 have goneG1831 out into the worldG2889.
2By thisG3778 you knowG1097 the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316: 4everyG3956 spiritG4151 that 5confessesG3670 that 6JesusG2424 ChristG5547 has comeG2064 in the fleshG4561 is from GodG2316;
3and everyG3956 spiritG4151 that 7does not confessG3670 JesusG2424 is not from GodG2316; thisG3778 is the spirit of the 8antichristG500, of whichG3739 you have heardG191 that it is comingG2064, and 9nowG3568 it is alreadyG2235 in the worldG2889.
4You are from GodG2316, 10littleG5040 childrenG5040, and 11have overcomeG3528 them; becauseG3754 12greaterG3173 is He who is in you thanG2228 13he who is in the worldG2889.
