1 John 4

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

Beloved, believe not every spirit; but prove the spirits, whether they are from God: for many false prophets have gone out into the world.

2 By this you know the Rukha of God: every spirit who confesses that Yeshua Meshikha has come in the flesh is of God,

By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ came in the flesh, is from God:

3 and every spirit who does not confess Yeshua is not of God; and this is that of the Anti-Meshikha, of whom you have heard that it comes. Now it is in the world already.

and whatever spirit confesses not that Jesus Christ came in the flesh, is not from God: and this is the spirit of antichrist, of which you have heard that it comes, and is now already in the world.

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

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

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

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

6 We are of God. He who knows God listens to us. He who is not of God does not listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

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 love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God, and knows God.

Beloved, let us love one another; for love is of God: and every one that loves, has been begotten of God, and knows God.

8 He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.

He that loves not, does not know God; for God is love.

9 By this God's love was revealed in us, that God has sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.

In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God sent his only-begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

10 In this is love, not that we have loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins.

In this is love; not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the expiation for our sins.

11 Beloved, if God loved us in this way, we also ought to love one another.

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 remains in us, and his love has been perfected in us.

No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwells in us, and his love is perfected in us.

13 By this we know that we remain in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Rukha.

By this we know that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.

14 We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as the Savior of the world.

And we have seen, and we do testify, that the Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.

15 Whoever confesses that Yeshua is the Son of God, God remains in him, and he in God.

Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwells in him, and he in God.

16 We know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him.

And we have known and believed the love which God has for us. God is love; and he that dwells in love, dwells in God, and God in him.

17 In this love has been made perfect among us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, because as he is, even so are we in this world.

By this 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.

18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has punishment. He who fears is not made perfect in love.

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has torment: he that fears is not made perfect in love.

19 We love, because he first loved us.

We love him, because he first loved us.

20 If anyone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen.

If any man say, I love God, and yet hate his brother, he is a liar: for he that loves not his brother, whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?

21 This commandment we have from him, that he who loves God should also love his brother.

And this commandment we have from him: That he that loves God, must love his brother also.
