Testing the Spirits
Beloved, vvv 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. 2 By this you will know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses [that] Jesus Christ has come in [the] flesh is from God, 3 and every spirit that vvv does not confess Jesus[fn] 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.
4You, little children, are from God and have overcome them, because greater is He who [is] in you than he who [is] in the world. 5 They are of the world. That is why they speak from the world’s perspective, and the world listens to them. 6 We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God vvv does not listen to us. That is how we know the Spirit[fn] of truth and the spirit of deception.
7Love Comes from God
Beloved, let us love one another, because love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever vvv does not love vvv does not know God, because God is love.
9This is how God’s love was revealed among us God sent His one and only[fn] Son into the world, so that we might live through Him. 10 [And] love consists in this: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son [as the] atoning sacrifice[fn] for our sins.
11Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has ever seen God; [but] if we love one another, God remains in us, and His love is perfected in us. 13 By this we know that we remain in Him, and He in us He has given us of His Spirit. 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent [His] Son [to be] [the] Savior of the world.
15If anyone confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. 16 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. 17 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
18There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear involves punishment. The [one who] fears vvv has not been perfected in love. 19 We love[fn] because He first loved us.
20If anyone says,“I love God,” [but] hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who vvv does not love his brother, whom he has seen, vvv cannot love God, whom vvv he has not seen. 21 And we have this commandment from Him Whoever loves God must love his brother as well.
