< 1 John 4 >

1 Beloved, every spirit believe not, but prove the spirits, if of God they are, because many false prophets have gone forth to 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 in this know ye the Spirit of God; every spirit that doth confess Jesus Christ in the flesh having come, of God it is,
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 and every spirit that doth not confess Jesus Christ in the flesh having come, of God it is not; and this is that of the antichrist, which ye heard that it doth come, and now in the world it is already.
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 Ye — of God ye are, little children, and ye have overcome them; because greater is He who [is] in you, than he 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 — of the world they are; because of this from the world they speak, and the world doth hear 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 — of God we are; he who is knowing God doth hear us; he who is not of God, doth not hear us; from this we know the spirit of the truth, and the spirit of the error.
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 Beloved, may we love one another, because the love is of God, and every one who is loving, of God he hath been begotten, and doth 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 he who is not loving did not know God, because God is love.
The [one] not loving not has known God, because God love is.
9 In this was manifested the love of God in us, because His Son — the only begotten — hath God sent to the world, that we may 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 in this is the love, not that we loved God, but that He did love us, and did send His Son a propitiation 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 Beloved, if thus did God love us, we also ought one another to love;
Beloved, if so God loved us, also we ourselves ought one another to love;
12 God no one hath ever seen; if we may love one another, God in us doth remain, and His love is having been perfected 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 in this we know that in Him we do remain, and He in us, because of His Spirit He hath given us.
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 And we — we have seen and do testify, that the Father hath sent the Son — Saviour of the world;
And we ourselves have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son [as] Savior of the world.
15 whoever may confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God in him doth remain, and he 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 and we — we have known and believed the love, that God hath in us; God is love, and he who is remaining in the love, in God he doth remain, and God in him.
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 In this made perfect hath been the love with us, that boldness we may have in the day of the judgment, because even as He is, we — we also are 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 fear is not in the love, but the perfect love doth cast out the fear, because the fear hath punishment, and he who is fearing hath not been made perfect in the 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 — we love him, because He — He first loved us;
We ourselves love (him *K*) because He himself first loved us.
20 if any one may say — 'I love God,' and his brother he may hate, a liar he is; for he who is not loving his brother whom he hath seen, God — whom he hath not seen — how is he able to love?
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 and this [is] the command we have from Him, that he who is loving God, may also love his brother.
And this the commandment we have from Him, that the [one] loving God may love also the brother of him.
