1 John 4:1-3
11Beloved, do not believe every 2spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because 3many false prophets have gone out into the world.
2By this you know the Spirit of God: 4every spirit that 5confesses that 6Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God;
3and every spirit that 7does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the 8antichrist, which you have heard is coming, and 9now it is already in the world.
