2By thisG3778 you knowG1097 the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316: 1everyG3956 spiritG4151 that 2confessesG3670 that 3JesusG2424 ChristG5547 has comeG2064 in the fleshG4561 is from GodG2316; 3and everyG3956 spiritG4151 that 4does not confessG3670 JesusG2424 is not from GodG2316; thisG3778 is the spirit of the 5antichristG500, whichG3739 you have heardG191 is comingG2064, and 6nowG3568 it is alreadyG2235 in the worldG2889. 4You are from GodG2316, 7littleG5040 childrenG5040, and 8have overcomeG3528 them; becauseG3754 9greaterG3173 is He who is in you thanG2228 10he who is in the worldG2889. 511They are from the worldG2889, thereforeG1223G3778 they speakG2980 as from the worldG2889, and the worldG2889 listensG191 to them. 612We are from GodG2316. 13The one who knowsG1097 GodG2316 listensG191 to us; 14the one whoG3739 is not from GodG2316 does not listenG191 to us. By thisG3778 we knowG1097 15the spiritG4151 of truthG225 and 16the spiritG4151 of errorG4106.
