riversident 1John:4:1-6
riversident@1John:4:1 @ BELOVED, do not trust every spirit, but test the spirits whether they are from God. For many false prophets have come out into the world.
riversident@1John:4:2 @ By this we know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,
riversident@1John:4:3 @ and no spirit that does not confess Jesus is from God. This is the spirit of Antichrist, which you have heard is coming into the world and is already in the world.
riversident@1John:4:4 @ But you are of God, little children, and have conquered them, because he who is in us is greater than he who is in the world.
riversident@1John:4:5 @ They belong to the world and for that reason they speak as the world speaks and the world listens to them.
riversident@1John:4:6 @ We are of God. Whoever knows God listens to us: whoever is not of God does not listen to us. In this way we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.
