1 John 4

1 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.

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

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

Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

3 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.

and every spirit that confesseth not Jesus is not of God: and this is the [spirit] of the antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it cometh; and now it is in the world already.

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

Ye are of God, [my] little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world.

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

They are of the world: therefore speak they [as] of the world, and the world heareth them.

6 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.

We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he who is not of God heareth us not. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

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

Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is begotten of God, and knoweth God.

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

He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

9 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.

Herein was the love of God manifested in us, that God hath sent his only begotten Son into the world that we might live through him.

10 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.

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

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

12 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.

No man hath beheld God at any time: if we love one another, God abideth in us, and his love is perfected in us:

13 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.

hereby we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.

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

And we have beheld and bear witness that the Father hath sent the Son [to be] the Saviour of the world.

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

Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God abideth in him, and he in God.

16 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)

And we know and have believed the love which God hath in us. God is love; and he that abideth in love abideth in God, and God abideth in him.

17 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.

Herein is love made perfect with us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as he is, even so are we in this world.

18 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.

There is no fear in love: but perfect love casteth out fear, because fear hath punishment; and he that feareth is not made perfect in love.

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

We love, because he first loved us.

20 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;

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, cannot love God whom he hath not seen.

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

And this commandment have we from him, that he who loveth God love his brother also.
