Fyrsta bréf Jóhannesar 4
Icelandic Bible
4 Þér elskaðir, trúið ekki sérhverjum anda, heldur reynið andana, hvort þeir séu frá Guði. Því margir falsspámenn eru farnir út í heiminn.
2 Af þessu getið þér þekkt anda Guðs: Sérhver andi, sem játar, að Jesús sé Kristur kominn í holdi, er frá Guði.
3 En sérhver andi, sem ekki játar Jesú, er ekki frá Guði. Hann er andkristsins andi, sem þér hafið heyrt um að komi, og nú þegar er hann í heiminum.
4 Þér börnin mín, heyrið Guði til og hafið sigrað falsspámennina, því að sá er meiri, sem í yður er, en sá, sem er í heiminum.
5 Falsspámennirnir heyra heiminum til. Þess vegna tala þeir eins og heimurinn talar, og heimurinn hlýðir á þá.
6 Vér heyrum Guði til. Hver sem þekkir Guð hlýðir á oss. Sá sem ekki heyrir Guði til hlýðir ekki á oss. Af þessu þekkjum vér sundur anda sannleikans og anda villunnar.
7 Þér elskaðir, elskum hver annan, því að kærleikurinn er frá Guði kominn, og hver sem elskar er af Guði fæddur og þekkir Guð.
8 Sá sem ekki elskar þekkir ekki Guð, því að Guð er kærleikur.
9 Í því birtist kærleikur Guðs meðal vor, að Guð hefur sent einkason sinn í heiminn til þess að vér skyldum lifa fyrir hann.
10 Þetta er kærleikurinn: Ekki að vér elskuðum Guð, heldur að hann elskaði oss og sendi son sinn til að vera friðþæging fyrir syndir vorar.
11 Þér elskaðir, fyrst Guð hefur svo elskað oss, þá ber einnig oss að elska hver annan.
12 Enginn hefur nokkurn tíma séð Guð. Ef vér elskum hver annan, þá er Guð stöðugur í oss og kærleikur hans er fullkomnaður í oss.
13 Vér þekkjum, að vér erum stöðugir í honum og hann í oss, af því að hann hefur gefið oss af sínum anda.
14 Vér höfum séð og vitnum, að faðirinn hefur sent soninn til að vera frelsari heimsins.
15 Hver sem játar, að Jesús sé Guðs sonur, í honum er Guð stöðugur og hann í Guði.
16 Vér þekkjum kærleikann, sem Guð hefur á oss, og trúum á hann. Guð er kærleikur, og sá sem er stöðugur í kærleikanum er stöðugur í Guði og Guð er stöðugur í honum.
17 Með því er kærleikurinn orðinn fullkominn hjá oss, að vér höfum djörfung á degi dómsins, því að vér erum í þessum heimi eins og hann er.
18 Ótti er ekki í elskunni. Fullkomin elska rekur út óttann. Því að óttinn felur í sér hegningu, en sá sem óttast er ekki fullkominn í elskunni.
19 Vér elskum, því að hann elskaði oss að fyrra bragði.
20 Ef einhver segir: "Ég elska Guð," og hatar bróður sinn, sá er lygari. Því að sá sem elskar ekki bróður sinn, sem hann hefur séð, getur ekki elskað Guð, sem hann hefur ekki séð.
21 Og þetta boðorð höfum vér frá honum, að sá sem elskar Guð á einnig að elska bróður sinn.

On Denying the Incarnation
4 Dear friends,(A) do not believe every spirit,(B) but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.(C) 2 This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh(D) is from God,(E) 3 but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist,(F) which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.(G)
4 You, dear children,(H) are from God and have overcome them,(I) because the one who is in you(J) is greater than the one who is in the world.(K) 5 They are from the world(L) 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.(M) This is how we recognize the Spirit[a] of truth(N) and the spirit of falsehood.(O)
God’s Love and Ours
7 Dear friends, let us love one another,(P) for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God(Q) and knows God.(R) 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.(S) 9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son(T) into the world that we might live through him.(U) 10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us(V) and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.(W) 11 Dear friends,(X) since God so loved us,(Y) we also ought to love one another.(Z) 12 No one has ever seen God;(AA) but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.(AB)
13 This is how we know(AC) that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit.(AD) 14 And we have seen and testify(AE) that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.(AF) 15 If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God,(AG) God lives in them and they in God.(AH) 16 And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.
God is love.(AI) Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.(AJ) 17 This is how love is made complete(AK) among us so that we will have confidence(AL) on the day of judgment:(AM) In this world we are like Jesus. 18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear,(AN) because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
19 We love because he first loved us.(AO) 20 Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister(AP) is a liar.(AQ) For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen,(AR) cannot love God, whom they have not seen.(AS) 21 And he has given us this command:(AT) Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.(AU)

King James Version
1 John 4
King James Version
4 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.
