1 John 4:2-4
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

2 This is how you can know the Spirit of God: every spirit that acknowledges Jesus Christ come in the flesh belongs to God,(A) 3 and every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus[a] does not belong to God. This is the spirit of the antichrist that, as you heard, is to come, but in fact is already in the world.(B) 4 You belong to God, children, and you have conquered them, for the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.
