1 John 4 - New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition 2021(NRSVUE)

1 John 4Testing the Spirits

1 is not from God. And this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world.

4Little children, you are from God and have conquered them, for the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

5They are from the world; therefore what they say is from the world, and the world listens to them.

6 because he first loved us.

201 Jn 1.6; 2.4; 3.17Those who say, “I love God,” and hate a brother or sister are liars, for those who do not love a brother or sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen.

21The commandment we have from him is this: those who love God must love their brothers and sisters also.
