Bible, King James Version
1_John
1John.4
[1] Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits
whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out
into the world.
[2] Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that
confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
[3] And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ
is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of
antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even
now already is it in the world.
[4] Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome
them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in
the world.
[5] They are of the world: therefore speak they of the
world, and the world heareth them.
[6] We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that
is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth,
and the spirit of error.
[7] Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God;
and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
[8] He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is
love.
[9] In this was manifested the love of God toward us,
because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that
we might live 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.
[11] Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love
one another.
[12] No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one
another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
[13] Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us,
because he hath given us of his Spirit.
[14] And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent
the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
[15] Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God,
God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
[16] And we have known and believed the love that God hath
to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God,
and God in him.
[17] Herein 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 casteth
out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made
perfect in love.
[19] We love him, because he first loved us.
[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,
how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
[21] And this commandment have we from him, That he who
loveth God love his brother also.
