1 John 4:5-7
Wycliffe Bible
5 They be of the world, therefore they speak of the world, and the world heareth them.
6 We be of God; he that knoweth God, heareth us; he that is not of God, heareth not us. In this thing we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
7 Most dear brethren, love we together, for charity is of God; and each that loveth his brother, is born of God, and knoweth God.

1 John 4:5-7
New International Version
5 They are from the world(A) and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them. 6 We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us.(B) This is how we recognize the Spirit[a] of truth(C) and the spirit of falsehood.(D)
God’s Love and Ours
