1 John 4:1 in context

  1. 1Beloved, believe not every spirit, but prove the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
  2. 2Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
  3. 3and every spirit that confesseth not Jesus is not of God: and this is the spirit of the antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it cometh; and now it is in the world already.
