1 John 4:3-13

3 And every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ, is come in flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, of which ye have heard that it should come, and that now it is already in the world.

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

5 They are of the world; therefore, they speak of the world, and the world hears them.

6 We are of God; he that knows God hears us; he that is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

7 Beloved, let us love one another, for charity is of God. Anyone that loves is born of God and knows God.

8 He that does not love does not know God, for God is charity.

9 In this was the charity of God demonstrated in us, in that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

10 In this does the charity consist, not because we had loved God, but because he loved us and has sent his Son to be the reconciliation for our sins.

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

12 No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and his charity is completed in us.

13 In this we know that we abide in him, and he in us, in that he has given us of his Spirit.
