1JO-4:1 Beloved, believe not
every spirit, but try the spirits
whether they are of God:
because many false prophets are gone out
into the world.
1JO-4:2 Hereby know ye the
Spirit of God: Every spirit that
confesseth that Jesus Christ
is come in the flesh is of God:
1JO-4:3 And every spirit
that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is
come in the flesh is not of
God: and this is that [spirit] of
antichrist, whereof ye have
heard that it should come; and even now
already is it in the world.
1JO-4:4 Ye are of God,
little children, and have overcome them:
because greater is he that is
in you, than he that is in the world.
1JO-4:5 They are of the
world: therefore speak they of the world,
and the world heareth them.
1JO-4:6 We are of God: he
that knoweth God heareth us; he that is
not of God heareth not us.
Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and
the spirit of error.
1JO-4:7 Beloved, let us love
one another: for love is of God; and
every one that loveth is born
of God, and knoweth God.
1JO-4:8 He that loveth not
knoweth not God; for God is love.
1JO-4:9 In this was
manifested the love of God toward us, because
that God sent his only
begotten Son into the world, that we might
live through him.
1JO-4:10 Herein is love, not
that we loved God, but that he loved
us, and sent his Son [to be]
the propitiation for our sins.
1JO-4:11 Beloved, if God so
loved us, we ought also to love one
another.
1JO-4:12 No man hath seen
God at any time. If we love one another,
God dwelleth in us, and his
love is perfected in us.
1JO-4:13 Hereby know we that
we dwell in him, and he in us, because
he hath given us of his
Spirit.
1JO-4:14 And we have seen
and do testify that the Father sent the
Son [to be] the Saviour of
the world.
1JO-4:15 Whosoever shall
confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God
dwelleth in him, and he in
God.
1JO-4:16 And we have known
and believed the love that God hath to
us. God is love; and he that
dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and
God in him.
1JO-4:17 Herein is our love
made perfect, that we may have boldness
in the day of judgment:
because as he is, so are we in this world.
1JO-4:18 There is no fear in
love; but perfect love casteth out
fear: because fear hath
torment. He that feareth is not made perfect
in love.
1JO-4:19 We love him,
because he first loved us.
1JO-4:20 If a man say, I
love God, and hateth his brother, he is a
liar: for he that loveth not
his brother whom he hath seen, how can
he love God whom he hath not
seen?
1JO-4:21 And this
commandment have we from him, That he who loveth
God love his brother also.
