1 John 4

1Beloved^G27, believe^G4100 not^G3361 every^G3956 spirit^G4151, but^G235 prove^G1381 the spirits^G4151, whether^G1487 they are^G2076 of^G1537 God^G2316; because^G3754 many^G4183 false prophets^G5578 are gone out^G1831 into^G1519 the world^G2889. 2Hereby^G1722 know ye^G1097 the Spirit^G4151 of God^G2316: every^G3956 spirit^G4151 that^G3739 confesseth that^G3670 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547 is come^G2064 in^G1722 the flesh^G4561 is^G2076 of^G1537 God^G2316: 3and^G2532 every^G3956 spirit^G4151 that^G3739 confesseth^G3670 not^G3361 Jesus^G2424 is^G2076 not^G3756 of^G1537 God^G2316: and^G2532 this^G5124 is^G2076 the^G3588 spirit of the antichrist^G500, whereof^G3739 ye have heard^G191 that^G3588 it cometh^G2064; and^G2532 now^G3568 it^G2076 is in^G1722 the world^G2889 already^G2235. 4Ye^G5210 are^G2075 of^G1537 God^G2316, my little children^G5040, and^G2532 have overcome^G3528 them^G846: because^G3754 greater^G3187 is he^G2076 that^G3588 is in^G1722 you^G5213 than^G2228 he that^G3588 is in^G1722 the world^G2889. 5They^G846 are^G1526 of^G1537 the world^G2889: therefore^G1223 speak they^G2980 as of^G1537 the world^G2889, and^G2532 the world^G2889 heareth^G191 them^G846. 6We^G2249 are^G2070 of^G1537 God^G2316: he that knoweth^G1097 God^G2316 heareth^G191 us^G2257; he who^G3739 is^G2076 not^G3756 of^G1537 God^G2316 heareth^G191 us^G2257 not^G3756. By^G1537 this^G5127 we^G1097 know the spirit^G4151 of truth^G225, and^G2532 the spirit^G4151 of error^G4106. 7Beloved^G27, let us love^G25 one another^G240: for^G3754 love^G26 is^G2076 of^G1537 God^G2316; and^G2532 every one^G3956 that^G3588 loveth^G25 is begotten^G1080 of^G1537 God^G2316, and^G2532 knoweth^G1097 God^G2316. 8He that loveth^G25 not^G3361 knoweth^G1097 not^G3756 God^G2316; for^G3754 God^G2316 is^G2076 love^G26. 9Herein^G1722 was the love^G26 of God^G2316 manifested^G5319 in^G1722 us^G2254, that^G3754 God^G2316 hath sent^G649 his^G846 only begotten^G3439 Son^G5207 into^G1519 the world^G2889 that^G2443 we might live^G2198 through^G1223 him^G846. 10Herein^G1722 is^G2076 love^G26, not^G3756 that^G3754 we^G2249 loved^G25 God^G2316, but^G235 that^G3754 he^G846 loved^G25 us^G2248, and^G2532 sent^G649 his^G846 Son^G5207 to be the propitiation^G2434 for^G4012 our^G2257 sins^G266. 11Beloved^G27, if^G1487 God^G2316 so^G3779 loved^G25 us^G2248, we^G2249 also^G2532 ought^G3784 to love^G25 one another^G240. 12No man^G3762 hath beheld^G2300 God^G2316 at any time^G4455: if^G1437 we love^G25 one another^G240, God^G2316 abideth^G3306 in^G1722 us^G2254, and^G2532 his^G846 love^G26 is^G2076 perfected^G5048 in^G1722 us^G2254: 13hereby^G1722 we^G1097 know that^G3754 we abide^G3306 in^G1722 him^G846 and^G2532 he^G846 in^G1722 us^G2254, because^G3754 he hath given^G1325 us^G2254 of^G1537 his^G846 Spirit^G4151. 14And^G2532 we^G2249 have beheld^G2300 and^G2532 bear witness^G3140 that^G3754 the Father^G3962 hath sent^G649 the Son^G5207 to be the Saviour^G4990 of the world^G2889. 15Whosoever^G3739 shall confess^G3670 that^G3754 Jesus^G2424 is^G2076 the Son^G5207 of God^G2316, God^G2316 abideth^G3306 in^G1722 him^G846, and^G2532 he^G846 in^G1722 God^G2316. 16And^G2532 we^G2249 know^G1097 and^G2532 have believed^G4100 the love^G26 which^G3739 God^G2316 hath^G2192 in us^G2254. God^G2316 is^G2076 love^G26; and^G2532 he that abideth^G3306 in^G1722 love^G26 abideth^G3306 in^G1722 God^G2316, and^G2532 God^G2316 abideth^G3306 in^G1722 him^G846. 17Herein^G1722 is^G5048 love^G26 made perfect^G5048 with us, that^G2443 we may have^G2192 boldness^G3954 in^G1722 the day^G2250 of judgment^G2920; because^G3754 as^G2531 he^G1565 is^G2076, even so^G2532 are^G2070 we^G2249 in^G1722 this^G5129 world^G2889. 18There is^G2076 no^G3756 fear^G5401 in^G1722 love^G26: but^G235 perfect^G5046 love^G26 casteth^G906 out^G1854 fear^G5401, because^G3754 fear^G5401 hath^G2192 punishment^G2851; and he that feareth^G5399 is^G5048 not^G3756 made perfect^G5048 in^G1722 love^G1161. 19We^G2249 love^G25, because^G3754 he^G846 first^G4413 loved^G25 us^G2248. 20If^G1437 a man^G5100 say^G3754, I love^G25 God^G2316, and^G2532 hateth^G3404 his^G846 brother^G80, he is^G2076 a liar^G5583: for^G1063 he that loveth^G25 not^G3361 his^G846 brother^G80 whom^G3739 he hath seen^G3708, cannot^G1410 love^G25 God^G2316 whom^G3739 he hath^G3708 not^G3756 seen^G3708. 21And^G2532 this^G3778 commandment^G1785 have we^G2192 from^G575 him^G846, that^G2443 he who loveth^G25 God^G2316 love^G25 his^G846 brother^G80 also^G2532.
