1 John 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.
2. Hereby know ye * the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth * that Jesus Christ is come * in the flesh is * of God:
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.
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.
5. They are * of the world:therefore speak they * of the world, and the world heareth * them.
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.
7. Beloved, let us love * one another: for love is * of God; and every one that loveth * is born * of God, and knoweth * God.
8. He that loveth * not knoweth * not God; for God is * love.
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.
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.
11. Beloved, if God so loved * us, we ought * also to love * one another.
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.
13. Hereby know we * that we dwell * in him, and he in us, because he hath given * us of his Spirit.
14. And we have seen * and do testify * that the Father sent * the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
15. Whosoever shall confess * that Jesus is * the Son of God, God dwelleth * in him,and he in God.
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.
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.
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.
19. We love * him, because he first loved * us.
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 * ?
21. And this commandment have we * from him, That he who loveth * God love * his brother also.
