      | ¶ | Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. | |
 | Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: | ||
 | 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. | ||
| 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. | ||
| They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. | ||
| 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. | ||
| ¶ | Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. | |
| He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. | ||
| 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. | ||
| Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son [to be] the propitiation for our sins. | ||
| Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. | ||
| ¶ | No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. | |
| Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. | ||
| And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son [to be] the Saviour of the world. | ||
| Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. | ||
| 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. | ||
| ¶ | 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. | |
| 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. | ||
| We love him, because he first loved us. | ||
| ¶ | 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? | |
| And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also. |
