1 John 4:2-4

American Standard Version

² Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: ³ and every spirit that ^[a]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. ⁴ Ye are of God, my little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world.
