Yochanan's First Letter, Chapter 4
{4:1} Beloved, don't believe every spirit, but test the spirits,
whether they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out
into the world. {4:2} By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit
who confesses that Yeshua the Messiah has come in the flesh is of God,
{4:3} and every spirit who doesn't confess that Yeshua the Messiah has
come in the flesh is not of God, and this is the spirit of the
anti-messiah, of whom you have heard that it comes. Now it is in the
world already. {4:4} 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. {4:5} They are of the world. Therefore they speak of the
world, and the world hears them. {4:6} We are of God. He who knows God
listens to us. He who is not of God doesn't listen to us. By this we
know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
{4:7} Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and
everyone who loves is born of God, and knows God. {4:8} He who doesn't
love doesn't know God, for God is love. {4:9} By this was God's love
revealed in us, that God has sent his one and only Son into the world
that we might live through him. {4:10} In this is love, not that we
loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning
sacrifice for our sins. {4:11} Beloved, if God loved us in this way,
we also ought to love one another. {4:12} 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. {4:13} By this we know that we remain in him and he
in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. {4:14} We have seen and
testify that the Father has sent the Son as the Savior of the world.
{4:15} Whoever confesses that Yeshua is the Son of God, God remains in
him, and he in God. {4:16} 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. {4:17} 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. {4:18} 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. {4:19} We love Him, because he
first loved us. {4:20} If a man says, "I love God," and hates his
brother, he is a liar; for he who doesn't love his brother whom he has
seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? {4:21} This
[1>]mitzvah[<1] we have from him, that he who loves God should also
love his brother.
