1Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

2By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses Jesus Christ having come in the flesh is from God,

3and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. And this is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming, and now is already in the world.

4You are from God, little children, and you have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

5They are from the world; for this reason they speak from the world, and the world listens to them.

6We are from God. The one who knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of error.
