- Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
- By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God;
- and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world.
- You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.
- They are from the world; therefore they speak as from the world, and the world listens to them.
|
- Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
- This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,
- but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.
- You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.
- They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them.
|
- We are from God; he who knows God listens to us; he who is not from God does not listen to us By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.
- Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.
- The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
- By this the love of God was manifested in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him.
- In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
|
- We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood.
- Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.
- Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
- This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.
- This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
|
- Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
- No one has seen God at any time; if we love one another, God abides in us, and His love is perfected in us.
- By this we know that we abide in Him and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit.
- We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.
- Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.
|
- Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
- No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.
- We know that we live in him and he in us, because he has 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.
- If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he in God.
|
- We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
- By this, love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment; because as He is, so also are we in this world.
- There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love.
- We love, because He first loved us.
- If someone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen.
|
- And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him.
- In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are like him.
- There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
- We love because he first loved us.
- If anyone says, "I love God," yet 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.
|
- And this commandment we have from Him, that the one who loves God should love his brother also.
|
- And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother.
