1|John|4:1|-|Beloved, do |a|not believe |1|every |b|spirit, but |2c|prove |1|the spirits whether they are |3|of God, because many |4d|false prophets have |e|gone out into the world.
1|John|4:2|-|In this you know the |a|Spirit of God: Every |1|spirit which confesses that Jesus Christ has come |2|in the |b|flesh is of God,
1|John|4:3|-|And every |1|spirit which does |a|not confess Jesus is not of God; and this is the spirit of the |2|antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming and now is already in the world.
1|John|4:4|-|You are |1|of God, |2|little children; and you have |a|overcome |3|them because |b|greater is |4|He who is |c|in you than |5|he who is in the |d|world.
1|John|4:5|-|They are |1|of the |a|world; therefore they speak |1|out of the world, and the world hears them.
1|John|4:6|-|We are |1a|of God; he who knows God |b|hears us; he who is |2|not of God does not hear us. |3|From this we know the |4|Spirit of |5|truth and the |4c|spirit of deception.
1|John|4:7|-|Beloved, let us |1a|love one another, because |2|love is of God, and everyone who |3|loves has been |4b|begotten of God and |5|knows God.
1|John|4:8|-|He who |a|does not love has |1|not |b|known God, because God is |2c|love.
1|John|4:9|-|In this the |a|love of God was manifested |1|among us, that God |b|sent His |c|only begotten Son into the |2|world that we might |3|have life and |d|live through Him.
1|John|4:10|-||1|Herein is |a|love, not that we have |b|loved God but that He |c|loved us and sent His Son as a |2|propitiation for our sins.
1|John|4:11|-|Beloved, if God has loved us in this way, we also ought to |1a|love one another.
1|John|4:12|-|No one has |1a|beheld God at any time; if we |2|love one another, God abides in us, and |3|His love is |4b|perfected in us.
1|John|4:13|-|In |1|this we know that we |2a|abide in Him and He in us, that He has given to us |3|of His Spirit.
1|John|4:14|-|And we have |a|beheld and |b|testify that the Father has |1c|sent the Son as the |d|Savior of the |2|world.
1|John|4:15|-|Whoever |1a|confesses that Jesus is the |b|Son of God, God |c|abides in him and he in God.
1|John|4:16|-|And we know and have |a|believed the |1|love which God has |2|in us. God is |3|love, and he who |4|abides in love |5|abides in God and |6|God abides in him.
1|John|4:17|-|In |1|this has love been |2|perfected with us, that we may have |3|boldness in the day of the |4|judgment because even as |5|He is, so also are we in this world.
1|John|4:18|-|There is no |1a|fear in love, but |2|perfect love casts out fear because fear has punishment, and he who fears has |3|not been perfected in love.
1|John|4:19|-|We love because He |1|first |a|loved us.
1|John|4:20|-|If anyone says, I love God, and |1a|hates his brother, he is a |b|liar; for he who |c|does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has |d|not seen.
1|John|4:21|-|And this |a|commandment we have from Him, that he who |b|loves God |c|love his brother also.
