1 John 4

1 Dear friends, don't trust every spirit, but put the spirits to the test to find out whether they're from God, for there are many false prophets out there in the world.

Beloved, not every spirit do believe but do test the spirits whether of God they are, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

2 How can you recognize God's Spirit? Every spirit that accepts Jesus Christ came with a human body is from God;

By this (you know *NK(O)*) the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses Jesus Christ in [the] flesh having come of God is.

3 while every spirit that doesn't accept Jesus, that spirit isn't from God. In fact it is the spirit of the antichrist which you heard was coming, and which is already in the world.

and any spirit that not confesses Jesus (Christ in flesh having come *K*) from God not is; And this is that of the antichrist which you have heard that is coming and now in the world is already.

4 But you belong to God, my friends, and you have defeated them, for the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

you yourselves from God are, little children, and have overcome them, because greater is the [One] in you than the [one] in the world.

5 They belong to the world, so they speak like people of the world, and the world listens to them.

They themselves of the world are; because of this from out of the world they speak and the world to them listens.

6 We belong to God and whoever knows God listens to us, while whoever doesn't belong to God doesn't listen to us. This is how we can distinguish the spirit of truth from the spirit of deception.

We ourselves of God are; The [one] knowing God listens to us; He who not is from God not listens to us. By this we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood.

7 Dear friends, let's go on loving one another, for love comes from God. All those who love are born of God and know God.

Beloved, we may love one another, because love from God is and everyone who is loving from God has been born and knows God;

8 Those who don't love don't know God, for God is love.

The [one] not loving not has known God, because God love is.

9 How was God's love shown to us? God sent his one and only Son into the world so that we could live through him.

In this has been revealed the love of God among us, that the Son of Him the one and only has sent God into the world so that we may live through Him.

10 This is love! It's not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and he sent his Son to be the reconciliation for our sins.

In this is love, not that we ourselves (have loved *N(k)O*) God, but that He himself loved us and He sent the Son of Him [as] a propitiation for the sins of us.

11 Friends, if this is the way God loves us, we ought to love one another like this too.

Beloved, if so God loved us, also we ourselves ought one another to love;

12 No one has ever seen God. However, if we love one another then God lives in us, and his love is fulfilled in us.

God no [one] at any time has seen; if we shall love one another, God in us abides and the love of Him in us perfected is.

13 How can we know that we live in him, and that he lives in us? He's given us the ability to love by his Spirit.

By this we know that in Him we abide and He in us, because from out the Spirit of Him He has given to us.

14 For we are witnesses to what we have seen and testify that the Father sent the Son as the Savior of the world.

And we ourselves have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son [as] Savior of the world.

15 God lives in everyone who declares that Jesus is the Son of God, and they live in God.

Who[ever] (maybe *N(k)O*) shall confess that Jesus (Christ *O*) is the Son of God, God in him abides and he in God.

16 We have experienced and trusted in the love that God has for us. God is love, and those who live in love, live in God, and God lives in them.

And we ourselves have come to know and we have come to believe the love that has God as to us. God love is, and the [one] abiding in love in God abides, and God in him (abides. *NO*)

17 This is how love is made complete in us so that we can be confident on judgment day: by the fact that we live just like him in this world.

In this has been perfected love with us, so that confidence we may have in the day of judgment, that even as He is also we ourselves are in world this.

18 Where there is love there can be no fear. God loves us completely, and this love drives all our fears away. If we do fear, it's because we fear being punished, and this shows that we have not been fully re-made by the completeness of God's love.

Fear no there is in love, but perfect love out casts fear, because the fear punishment has; the [one] now fearing not has been perfected in love.

19 We love because he loved us first.

We ourselves love (him *K*) because He himself first loved us.

20 Anyone who says, “I love God,” but hates a Christian brother or sister, is a liar. Anyone who doesn't love a brother whom they can see, can't love God whom they can't see.

If anyone shall say that I love God and the brother of him may hate, a liar he is; The [one] for not loving the brother of him whom he has seen, God whom not he has seen (not *N(K)O*) is he able to love;

21 This is the command he gave to us: those who love God love their brothers and sisters too.

And this the commandment we have from Him, that the [one] loving God may love also the brother of him.
