1 John 4:3-13

Share

Settings

3 and every spirit that 1does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the 2antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and 3now it is already in the world.
4 You are from God, 4little children, and 5have overcome them; because 6greater is He who is in you than 7he who is in the world.
5 8They are from the world; therefore * they speak as from the world, and the world listens to them.
6 9We are from God; 10he who knows God listens to us; 11he who is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know 12the spirit of truth and 13the spirit of error.

God Is Love

7 14Beloved, let us 15love one another, for love is from God; and 16everyone who loves is 17born of God and 18knows God.
8 The one who does not love does not know God, for 19God is love.
9 By this the love of God was manifested 20in us, that 21God has sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him.
10 In this is love, 22not that we loved God, but that 23He loved us and sent His Son to be 24the propitiation for our sins.
11 25Beloved, if God so loved us, 26we also ought to love one another.
12 27No one has seen God at any time; if we love one another, God abides in us, and His 28love is perfected in us.
13 29By this we know that we abide in Him and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit.
