1 John 4

1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but prove the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

Dearely beloued, beleeue not euery spirit, but trie the spirits whether they are of God: for many false prophets are gone out into this worlde.

2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

Hereby shall ye know the Spirit of God, Euery spirit which confesseth that Iesus Christ is come in the flesh, is of God.

3 and every spirit that confesseth not Jesus is not of God: and this is the [spirit] of the antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it cometh; and now it is in the world already.

And euery spirit that confesseth not that Iesus Christ is come in the flesh, is not of God: but this is the spirit of Antichrist, of whome ye haue heard, how that he should come, and nowe already he is in this world.

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

Litle children, ye are of God, and haue ouercome them: for greater is he that is in you, then he that is in this world.

5 They are of the world: therefore speak they [as] of the world, and the world heareth them.

They are of this worlde, therefore speake they of this world, and this world heareth them.

6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he who is not of God heareth us not. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

We are of God, he that knoweth God, heareth vs: he that is not of God, heareth vs not. Heereby knowe wee the spirit of trueth, and the spirit of errour.

7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is begotten of God, and knoweth God.

Beloued, let vs loue one another: for loue commeth of God, and euery one that loueth, is borne of God, and knoweth God.

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

Hee that loueth not, knoweth not God: for God is loue.

9 Herein was the love of God manifested in us, that God hath sent his only begotten Son into the world that we might live through him.

Herein was that loue of God made manifest amongst vs, because God sent that his onely begotten sonne into this world, that we might liue through him.

10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son [to be] the propitiation for our sins.

Herein is that loue, not that we loued God, but that he loued vs, and sent his Sonne to be a reconciliation for our sinnes.

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

Beloued, if God so loued vs, we ought also to loue one another.

12 No man hath beheld God at any time: if we love one another, God abideth in us, and his love is perfected in us:

No man hath seene God at any time. If we loue one another, God dwelleth in vs, and his loue is perfect in vs.

13 hereby we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.

Hereby know we, that we dwell in him, and he in vs: because he hath giuen vs of his Spirit.

14 And we have beheld and bear witness that the Father hath sent the Son [to be] the Saviour of the world.

And we haue seene, and doe testifie, that the Father sent that Sonne to be ye Sauiour of the world.

15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God abideth in him, and he in God.

Whosoeuer confesseth that Iesus is the Sone of God, in him dwelleth God, and he in God.

16 And we know and have believed the love which God hath in us. God is love; and he that abideth in love abideth in God, and God abideth in him.

And we haue knowen, and beleeued ye loue that God hath in vs. God is loue, and he that dwelleth in loue, dwelleth in God, and God in him.

17 Herein is love made perfect with us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as he is, even so are we in this world.

Herein is that loue perfect in vs, that we should haue boldnes in the day of iudgement: for as he is, euen so are we in this world.

18 There is no fear in love: but perfect love casteth out fear, because fear hath punishment; and he that feareth is not made perfect in love.

There is no feare in loue, but perfect loue casteth out feare: for feare hath painefulnesse: and he that feareth, is not perfect in loue.

19 We love, because he first loved us.

We loue him, because he loued vs first.

20 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, cannot love God whom he hath not seen.

If any man say, I loue God, and hate his brother, he is a liar: for how can he that loueth not his brother whom he hath seene, loue God whom he hath not seene?

21 And this commandment have we from him, that he who loveth God love his brother also.

And this commandement haue we of him, that he that loueth God, should loue his brother also.
