1 John 4:5-7
Worldwide English (New Testament)
5 Those prophets belong to the world. That is why they teach about things in the world. And that is why the people of the world listen to them.
6 But we belong to God. Anyone who knows God listens to us. Anyone who does not belong to God does not listen to us. This is how we know if a spirit is true or not true.
7 My dear brothers, we must love one another, because love comes from God. Everyone who loves others is God's child and he knows God.
