Testing the Spirits
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but prove the spirits, if they are of God; because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but prove the spirits, if they are of God; because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
Discerning False Prophets
Dear friends, do not believe everyone who claims to speak by the Spirit. You must test them to see if the spirit they have comes from God. For there are many false prophets in the world.
Dear friends, do not believe everyone who claims to speak by the Spirit. You must test them to see if the spirit they have comes from God. For there are many false prophets in the world.
Hereby ye know the Spirit of God: every spirit which confesses Jesus Christ come in flesh is of God;
and every spirit which does not confess Jesus Christ come in flesh is not of God: and this is that [power] of the antichrist, [of] which ye have heard that it comes, and now it is already in the world.
But if someone claims to be a prophet and does not acknowledge the truth about Jesus, that person is not from God. Such a person has the spirit of the Antichrist, which you heard is coming into the world and indeed is already here.
*Ye* are of God, children, and have overcome them, because greater is he that [is] in you than he that [is] in the world.
But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a victory over those people, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world.
*They* are of the world; for this reason they speak [as] of the world, and the world hears them.
Those people belong to this world, so they speak from the world’s viewpoint, and the world listens to them.
*We* are of God; he that knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. From this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.
But we belong to God, and those who know God listen to us. If they do not belong to God, they do not listen to us. That is how we know if someone has the Spirit of truth or the spirit of deception.
Love Comes from God
Beloved, let us love one another; because love is of God, and every one that loves has been begotten of God, and knows God.
Beloved, let us love one another; because love is of God, and every one that loves has been begotten of God, and knows God.
Loving One Another
Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God.
He that loves not has not known God; for God is love.
But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
Herein as to us has been manifested the love of God, that God has sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him.
Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son a propitiation for our sins.
This is real love — not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.
Beloved, if God has so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other.
No one has seen God at any time: if we love one another, God abides in us, and his love is perfected in us.
No one has ever seen God. But if we love each other, God lives in us, and his love is brought to full expression in us.
Hereby we know that we abide in him and he in us, that he has given to us of his Spirit.
And God has given us his Spirit as proof that we live in him and he in us.
And *we* have seen, and testify, that the Father has sent the Son [as] Saviour of the world.
Furthermore, we have seen with our own eyes and now testify that the Father sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.
Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.
All who declare that Jesus is the Son of God have God living in them, and they live in God.
And *we* have known and have believed the love which God has to us. God is love, and he that abides in love abides in God, and God in him.
We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love.
God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them.
God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them.
Herein has love been perfected with us that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, that even as *he* is, *we* also are in this world.
And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face him with confidence because we live like Jesus here in this world.
There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear; for fear has torment, and he that fears has not been made perfect in love.
Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love.
If any one say, I love God, and hate his brother, he is a liar: for he that loves not his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?
