Test
The Spirits
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.
2
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,
3
But every spirit that does does not acknowledge Jesus
IS
NOT FROM GOD.
THIS
IS THE SPIRIT OF THE ANTICHRIST,
Which
you have head is coming
And
even now is already in the World.
4
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.
5
They are from the World
And
therefore speak from the Viewpoint of the World,
And
the World listens to them.
6
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.
God's
Love And Ours
7
Dear Friends, let us love one another,
FOR
LOVE COMES FROM GOD.
EVERYONE
WHO LOVES HAS BEEN BORN OF GOD AND KNOWS GOD.
8
Whoever does not love does not know God,
BECAUSE
GOD IS LOVE.
9
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.
10
THIS IS LOVE:
Not
that we loved God,
But
that He loved us and sent His Son
AS
AN ATONING SACRIFICE FOR OUR SINS.
11
Dear Friends, since God so loved us,
We
also ought to love one another.
12
NO ONE HAS EVER SEEN GOD;
But
if we love each other,
GOD
LIVES IN US
AND
HIS LOVE IS MADE COMPLETE IN US.
13
WE KNOW THAT WE LIVE IN HIM AND HE IN US,
BECAUSE
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.
15
If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God,
GOD
LIVES IN HIM AND HE IN GOD.
16
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.
17
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.
BECAUSE
PERFECT LOVE DRIVES OUT FEAR,
Because
Fear has to do with Punishment.
THE
MAN WHO FEARS IS NOT MADE PREFECT IN LOVE.
19
We love because He first loved us.
20
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.
21
AND HE HAS GIVEN US THIS COMMAND:
WHOEVER
LOVES GOD MUST ALSO LOVE HIS BROTHER.
(1
John 4)
