1 John 4:1-8

1 Ye beloved beleve not every sprete: but prove the spretes whether they are of God or no: for many falce Prophetes are gone out into the worlde.

2 Herby shall ye knowe the sprete of God. Every sprete that confesseth that Iesus Christ is come in the flesshe is of God.

3 And every sprete which cofesseth not yt Iesus Christ is come in the flesshe is not of God. And this is that sprete of Antichrist of whom ye have hearde howe that he shuld come: and even now alredy is he in the worlde.

4 Lytell chyldre ye are of God and have overcome them: for greater is he yt is in you then he that is in the worlde.

5 They are of the worlde and therfore speake they of the worlde and the worlde heareth them.

6 We are of God. He yt knoweth God heareth vs: he that is not of God heareth vs not. Herby knowe we ye sprete of veritie and the sprete of erroure.

7 Beloved let vs love one another: for love cometh of God. And every one that loveth is borne of God and knoweth God.

8 He that loveth not knoweth not God: for God is love.
