King James Version
Beloved, do
not
believe every spirit, but test
the spirits to
see
whether they are from
God .
For
many false prophets have
gone out into the world.
Beloved, believe not
every spirit, but try
the spirits whether they are of
God :
because
many false prophets are
gone out into the world.
By
this
you
will
know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses
that Jesus Christ has
come in the flesh is from
God ,
Hereby
know ye
the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth
that Jesus Christ is
come in the flesh is of
God :
and every spirit that does
not confess
Jesus is not from
God .
This is the
spirit of the
antichrist, which
you
have heard is
coming
and which
is
already in the world at
this
time
.
And every spirit that confesseth
not that
Jesus Christ
is come
in
the
flesh
is
not of
God :
and
this is that
spirit of antichrist, whereof
ye
have heard that
it
should
come;
and even
now
already is
it
in the world.
You
, little children, are
from
God
and have overcome them ,
because greater is He who
is in you than he who
is in the world.
Ye
are
of
God
, little children, and have overcome them :
because greater is he that
is in you ,
than he that
is in the world.
They are of the world .
That
is
why
they
speak from
the world’s
perspective
, and the world listens
to
them.
They are of the world :
therefore
speak they
of
the world
, and the world heareth
them.
We are from
God .
Whoever
knows
God listens
to
us; whoever
is not from
God does
not listen
to
us. That
is
how
we
know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of deception
.
We are of
God :
he
that
knoweth
God heareth
us; he
that
is not of
God heareth
not us. Hereby
know we
the spirit of truth ,
and the spirit of error
.
Beloved, let us love one another ,
because
love comes
from
God .
Everyone
who
loves
has
been
born of God and knows
God.
Beloved, let us love one another :
for
love is
of
God ;
and
every
one
that
loveth
is
born of God ,
and knoweth
God.
Whoever
does
not love
does
not know
God ,
because
God is love.
He
that
loveth
not knoweth
not God ;
for
God is love.
This is
how
God’s
love
was revealed
among
us :
God sent His one
and
only Son into the world, so
that we might live through Him.
In
this was manifested
the
love
of
God
toward
us ,
because
that
God sent his only begotten
Son into the world, that we might live through him.
And
love consists
in
this:
not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as
the atoning
sacrifice
for our sins.
Herein
is
love ,
not that we loved God, but that he loved us ,
and sent his Son to
be
the propitiation
for our sins.
Beloved, if God so loved us, we also
ought to love one another.
Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also
to love one another.
No one
has
ever
seen God ;
but
if we love one another, God remains
in us, and His love is perfected in us.
No man
hath
seen God at
any
time.
If we love one another, God dwelleth
in us, and his love is perfected in us.
By
this
we
know that we remain
in Him, and He in us :
He has
given us of His Spirit.
Hereby
know we
that we dwell
in him, and he in us ,
because
he hath
given us of his Spirit.
And we have seen and testify that the Father has
sent His
Son to be the Savior
of the world.
And we have seen and do
testify that the Father sent the
Son to be the Saviour
of the world.
If
anyone
confesses
that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides
in him, and he in God.
Whosoever
shall
confess
that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth
in him, and he in God.
And we have come
to
know
and believe
the love that God has
for
us. God is love; whoever
abides
in love abides
in God, and God in him.
And we have known
and believed
the love that God hath
to
us. God is love; and
he
that
dwelleth
in love dwelleth
in God, and God in him.
In
this
way,
love has
been
perfected
among
us
, so
that we may have confidence
on
the day of judgment ;
for
in this world we
are
just
like
Him
.
Herein
is
our
love made
perfect
, that we may have boldness
in
the day of judgment :
because
as
he
is,
so
are
we
in this world.
There is no fear in love ,
but perfect love drives
out fear ,
because fear involves
punishment
. The
one
who
fears
has
not been
perfected
in love.
There is no fear in love ;
but perfect love casteth
out fear :
because fear hath
torment
. He
that
feareth
is
not made
perfect
in love.
We love because He first loved us.
We love him,
because he first loved us.
If anyone
says
, “
I love God, ”
but
hates
his brother, he is a liar .
For anyone
who
does
not love
his brother ,
whom he has
seen, cannot
love God ,
whom he has
not seen .
If a
man
say
, I love God, and
hateth
his brother, he is a liar :
for he
that
loveth
not his brother whom he hath
seen, how
can
he
love God whom he hath
not seen ?
And we
have
this commandment from Him :
Whoever
loves
God must
love his brother as
well
.
And this commandment have
we
from him ,
That
he
who
loveth
God love his brother also
.
