1John:4
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Beloved ,
believe not every spirit ,
but try the spirits whether they are of God :
because many false prophets are gone out into the world .
*
Hereby know ye the Spirit of God :
Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God :
*
And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God :
and this is that spirit of antichrist ,
whereof ye have heard that it should come ;
and even now already is it in the world .
*
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 .
*
They are of the world :
therefore speak they of the world ,
and the world heareth them .
*
We are of God :
he that knoweth God heareth us ;
he that is not of God heareth not us .
Hereby know we the spirit of truth ,
and the spirit of error .
*
Beloved ,
let us love one another :
for love is of God ;
and every one that loveth is born of God ,
and knoweth God .
*
He that loveth not knoweth not God ;
for God is love .
*
In this was manifested the love of God toward us ,
because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world ,
that we might live through him .
*
Herein is love ,
not that we loved God ,
but that he loved us ,
and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins .
*
Beloved ,
if God so loved us ,
we ought also to love one another .
*
No man hath seen God at any time .
If we love one another ,
God dwelleth in us ,
and his love is perfected in us .
*
Hereby know we that we dwell in him ,
and he in us ,
because he hath given us of his Spirit .
*
And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world .
*
Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God ,
God dwelleth in him ,
and he in God .
*
And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us .
God is love ;
and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God ,
and God in him .
*
Herein is our love made perfect ,
that we may have boldness in the day of judgment :
because as he is ,
so are we in this world .
*
There is no fear in love ;
but perfect love casteth out fear :
because fear hath torment .
He that feareth is not made perfect in love .
*
We love him ,
because he first loved us .
*
If a man say ,
I love God ,
and hateth his brother ,
he is a liar :
for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen ,
how can he love God whom he hath not seen ?
*
And this commandment have we from him ,
That he who loveth God love his brother also .
