1 John 4:2-4

Worldwide English (New Testament)

² Here is how you can know the Spirit of God. Every spirit that believes that Jesus Christ has come in the body of a man is from God.

³ And every spirit that does not say this about Jesus, does not belong to God. That is the spirit of the one who is against Christ. You have heard that he is coming. And now he is already in the world.

⁴ My children, you belong to God. You have won the victory over those prophets who are not true. You have won because the Spirit that is in you is stronger than the spirit that is in the world.
