Chapter 4
1st John
4:1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of Elohim: because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
4:2 By this you* know the Spirit of Elohim: Every spirit that confesses that YASHUWAH the Messiah has come in the flesh, is from Elohim:
4:3 And every spirit that does not confess that YASHUWAH the Messiah has come in the flesh, is not from Elohim. And this is that spirit of antimessiah, of which you* have heard that it should come; and even now already it is in the world.
4:4 You* are of Elohim, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he who is in you*, than he who is in the world.
4:5 They are of the world: therefore they speak from the world, and the world hears them.
4:6 We are of Elohim. He who knows Elohim, hears us; he who is not of Elohim, does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
4:7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is from Elohim; and everyone who loves is born of Elohim, and knows Elohim.
4:8 He who does not love, does not know Elohim; for Elohim is love.
4:9 In this the love of Elohim was manifested towards us, because Elohim sent his only begotten Son into the world, so that we might live through him.
4:10 In this is love, not that we loved Elohim, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
4:11 Beloved, if Elohim so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
4:12 No man has seen Elohim at any time. If we love one another, Elohim dwells in us, and his love is perfected in us.
4:13 By this we know that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.
4:14 And we have seen and testify, that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
4:15 Whoever shall confess that YASHUWAH is the Son of Elohim, Elohim dwells in him, and he in Elohim.
4:16 And we have known and believed the love that Elohim has to us. Elohim is love: and he who dwells in love, dwells in Elohim, and Elohim in him.
4:17 In this our love is made perfect, so that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear: because fear has torment. He who fears, is not made perfect in love.
4:19 We love him, because he first loved us.
4:20 If a man says, I love Elohim, and hates his brother, he is a liar. For he who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, how can he love Elohim, whom he has not seen?
4:21 And this commandment we have from him: he who loves Elohim, love his brother also.
