4Beloved, 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.G27G4100G3361G3956G4151G235G1381G4151G1487G2076G1537G2316G3754G4183G5578G1831G1519G28892By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,G1722G3739G5129G1097G4151G2316G3956G4151G3670G2424G5547G2064G1722G4561G2076G1537G23163and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. And this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming; and now it is already in the world.G2532G3956G4151G3739G3670G3361G2424G5547G2064G1722G4561G2076G3756G1537G2316G2532G5124G2076G500G3739G191G3754G2064G2532G3568G2235G2076G1722G28894Little children, you are from God, and have conquered them; for the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.G5210G2075G1537G2316G5040G2532G3528G846G3754G3187G2076G1722G5213G2228G1722G28895They are from the world; therefore what they say is from the world, and the world listens to them.G846G1526G1537G2889G1223G5124G2980G1537G2889G2532G2889G191G8466We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us, and whoever is not from God does not listen to us. From this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.G2249G2070G1537G2316G1097G2316G191G2257G3739G2076G3756G1537G2316G191G3756G2257G1537G5127G1097G4151G225G2532G4151G4106
God Is Love
7Beloved, let us love one another, because love is from God; everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.G27G25G240G3754G26G2076G1537G2316G2532G3956G25G1080G1537G2316G2532G1097G23168Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love.G25G3361G1097G3756G2316G3754G2316G2076G269God's love was revealed among us in this way: God sent his only Son into the world so that we might live through him.G1722G5129G5319G26G2316G1722G2254G3754G2316G649G846G3439G5207G1519G2889G2443G2198G1223G84610In this is love, not that we loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins.G1722G5129G2076G26G3754G3756G2249G25G2316G235G3754G846G25G2248G2532G649G846G5207G2434G4012G2257G26611Beloved, since God loved us so much, we also ought to love one another.G27G1487G2316G3779G25G2248G2249G3784G2532G25G24012No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God lives in us, and his love is perfected in us.G3762G2300G2316G4455G1437G25G240G2316G3306G1722G2254G2532G846G26G2076G5048G1722G225413By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.G1722G5129G1097G3754G3306G1722G846G2532G846G1722G2254G3754G1325G2254G1537G846G415114And we have seen and do testify that the Father has sent his Son as the Savior of the world.G2532G2249G2300G2532G3140G3754G3962G649G5207G4990G288915God abides in those who confess that Jesus is the Son of God, and they abide in God.G3739G302G3670G3754G2424G2076G5207G2316G2316G3306G1722G846G2532G846G1722G231616So we have known and believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and those who abide in love abide in God, and God abides in them.G2532G2249G1097G2532G4100G26G3739G2316G2192G1722G2254G2316G2076G26G2532G3306G1722G26G3306G1722G2316G2532G2316G1722G84617Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness on the day of judgment, because as he is, so are we in this world.G1722G5129G3326G2257G26G5048G2443G2192G3954G1722G2250G2920G3754G2531G1565G2076G2532G2070G2249G1722G5129G288918There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear; for fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not reached perfection in love.G2076G3756G5401G1722G26G235G5046G26G906G1854G5401G3754G5401G2192G2851G1161G5399G5048G3756G5048G1722G2619We love because he first loved us.G2249G25G846G3754G846G4413G25G224820Those who say, "I love God," and hate their brothers or sisters, are liars; for those who do not love a brother or sister whom they have seen, cannot love God whom they have not seen.G1437G5100G2036G3754G25G2316G2532G3404G846G80G2076G5583G1063G25G3361G846G80G3739G3708G4459G1410G25G2316G3739G3708G3756G370821The commandment we have from him is this: those who love God must love their brothers and sisters also.G2532G5026G1785G2192G575G846G2443G25G2316G25G846G80G2532
