YLT
Young's Literal Translation
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, every spirit believe
not
, but prove
the spirits ,
if
of
God
they are ,
because
many false prophets have gone forth
to
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,
in
this know ye
the Spirit of God ;
every spirit that doth
confess
Jesus Christ in the flesh having
come,
of
God it
is
,
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 doth
not confess Jesus Christ
in
the
flesh
having
come,
of
God
it
is not ;
and
this is that
of the antichrist, which ye
heard that
it
doth
come,
and now
in the world it
is
already
.
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
--
of
God
ye
are
, little children, and ye
have overcome them ;
because greater is He who `
is '
in you ,
than he who 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 --
of the world they are;
because
of
this
from the world
they
speak
, and the world doth
hear
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 --
of
God we
are;
he
who
is
knowing
God doth
hear
us; he
who
is not of
God ,
doth
not hear
us ;
from
this
we know the spirit of the
truth ,
and the spirit of the
error
.
Beloved, let
us
love one another, because love comes
from
God .
Everyone
who loves
has
been
born
of God and knows
God .
Beloved, may
we
love one another, because the
love is
of
God ,
and
every
one
who is
loving,
of God he
hath
been
begotten,
and doth
know
God ;
Whoever
does
not love
does
not know God, because God is love.
he
who
is
not loving
did
not know God, because 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 in
us,
because
His Son --
the only
begotten
--
hath
God
sent
to
the
world, that we may
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.
in this is
the
love,
not that we loved God, but that He did
love
us ,
and did
send
His Son a
propitiation
for our sins.
Beloved, if God so
loved
us, we also ought to
love
one another .
Beloved, if thus
did
God love
us, we also ought one another to
love;
No one has
ever seen God
; but
if we love one another, God remains
in us, and His love is perfected in us .
God
no one hath
ever seen; if we may
love one another, God in us doth
remain
, and His love is having
been
perfected in us ;
By
this we know that we
remain
in Him, and He in us :
He
has
given
us
of His Spirit.
in
this we know that in Him we
do
remain
, and He in us ,
because
of His Spirit He
hath
given
us
.
And we have seen and testify that the Father has
sent His
Son
to
be
the Savior
of the world .
And we --
we
have seen and do
testify ,
that the Father hath
sent the Son
--
Saviour
of the world ;
If
anyone
confesses
that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides
in him, and he in God .
whoever
may
confess
that Jesus is the Son of God, God in him doth
remain
, 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 --
we
have known
and believed
the love ,
that God hath
in
us ;
God is love ,
and
he
who
is
remaining
in the
love ,
in God he
doth
remain
, 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.
In this made
perfect
hath
been the
love
with
us, that boldness
we may have in
the day of the
judgment ,
because
even
as
He
is,
we
--
we
also
are
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 .
fear is
not
in the
love, but the
perfect love doth
cast
out the
fear, because the
fear hath
punishment ,
and
he
who is
fearing
hath
not been made
perfect
in the
love ;
We love because He first loved us .
we --
we
love him,
because He --
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 any
one
may
say
--
`
I love God, '
and
his brother he may
hate,
a liar he
is;
for he
who is
not loving
his brother whom he hath
seen, God --
whom he hath
not seen --
how
is
he
able
to
love?
And we have this
commandment
from Him :
Whoever
loves
God must
love his brother as
well
.
and this
`is'
the
command
we have from Him ,
that
he
who
is
loving
God ,
may
also
love his brother.
