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.

Beloved, not every spirit do believe but do test the spirits whether of God they are, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

2 Hereby know you the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

By this (you know *NK+O) the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses Jesus Christ in [the] flesh having come of God is.

3 And every spirit that confesses not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof you have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

and any spirit that not confesses Jesus (Christ in flesh having come *K) from God not is; And this is that of the antichrist which you have heard that is coming and now in the world is already.

4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

you yourselves from God are, little children, and have overcome them, because greater is the [One] in you than the [one] in the world.

5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world hears them.

They themselves of the world are; because of this from out of the world they speak and the world to them listens.

6 We are of God: he that knows God hears us; he that is not of God hears not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

We ourselves of God are; The [one] knowing God listens to us; He who not is from God not listens to us. By this we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood.

7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loves is born of God, and knows God.

Beloved, we may love one another, because love from God is and everyone who is loving from God has been born and knows God;

8 He that loves not knows not God; for God is love.

The [one] not loving not has known God, because God love is.

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.

In this has been revealed the love of God among us, that the Son of Him the one and only has sent God into the world so that we may 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.

In this is love, not that we ourselves (have loved *N+kO) God, but that He himself loved us and He sent the Son of Him [as] a propitiation for the sins of us.

11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

Beloved, if so God loved us, also we ourselves ought one another to love;

12 No man has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwells in us, and his love is perfected in us.

God no [one] at any time has seen; if we shall love one another, God in us abides and the love of Him in us perfected is.

13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.

By this we know that in Him we abide and He in us, because from out the Spirit of Him He has given to us.

14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.

And we ourselves have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son [as] Savior of the world.

15 Whoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwells in him, and he in God.

Who[ever] (maybe *N+kO) shall confess that Jesus (Christ *O) is the Son of God, God in him abides and he in God.

16 And we have known and believed the love that God has to us. God is love; and he that dwells in love dwells in God, and God in him.

And we ourselves have come to know and we have come to believe the love that has God as to us. God love is, and the [one] abiding in love in God abides, and God in him (abides. *NO)

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.

In this has been perfected love with us, so that confidence we may have in the day of judgment, that even as He is also we ourselves are in world this.

18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear: because fear has torment. He that fears is not made perfect in love.

Fear no there is in love, but perfect love out casts fear, because the fear punishment has; the [one] now fearing not has been perfected in love.

19 We love him, because he first loved us.

We ourselves love (him *K) because He himself first loved us.

20 If a man say, I love God, and hates his brother, he is a liar: for he that loves not his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?

If anyone shall say that I love God and the brother of him may hate, a liar he is; The [one] for not loving the brother of him whom he has seen, God whom not he has seen (not *N+KO) is he able to love;

21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loves God love his brother also.

And this the commandment we have from Him, that the [one] loving God may love also the brother of him.
