1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 In this you? know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses Jesus Christ having come in the flesh is of God, 3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not of God, and this is that of the antichrist, which you? heard that is coming, and now is already in the world. 4 You? are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because greater is the One in you? than the one in the world. 5 They are of the world; because of this they speak from out of the world, and the world hears them. 6 We are of God. The one knowing God hears us. The one who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of error. 7 Beloved, may we love one another, because love is of God; and everyone loving has been born of God and knows God. 8 The one not loving has not known God, because God is love. 1 John 4:1-8, Berean Literal Bible.
