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

By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit who confesses that Jesus (the) Messiah has 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 who does not confess Jesus is not of God; and this is that of the antimessiah, of whom you have heard that it comes. 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.

You are of God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is he who is in you than he who 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 they speak of the world, and the world hears 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 who knows God listens to us. He who is not of God does not listen to us. 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 everyone who loves is born of God, and knows God.

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

He who does not love does not know 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.

By this God's love was revealed in us, that God has sent his one and only 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.

In this is love, not that we have loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins.

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

Beloved, if God loved us in this way, 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 one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God remains in us, and his love has been 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.

By this we know that we remain in him and he in us, because he has 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.

We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as the Savior 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.

Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains 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)

We know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God, and God remains 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.

In this love has been made perfect among 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 casts out fear, because fear has punishment. He who fears 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 anyone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen.

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

This commandment we have from him, that he who loves God should also love his brother.
