| 1st-John 4:2 | By this you may have knowledge of the Spirit of God: every spirit which says that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God: | Hereby ye know the Spirit of God: every spirit which confesses Jesus Christ come in flesh is of God; | By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit who confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, |
| 1st-John 4:3 | And every spirit which does not say this is not from God: this is the spirit of Antichrist, of which you have had word; and it is in the world even now. | and every spirit which does not confess Jesus Christ come in flesh is not of God: and this is that [power] of the antichrist, [of] which ye have heard that it comes, and now it is already in the world. | and every spirit who doesn't confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God, and this is the spirit of the antichrist, of whom you have heard that it comes.

| 1st-John 4:6 | We are of God: he who has the knowledge of God gives ear to us; he who is not of God does not give ear to us.

From this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error. | We are of God. He who knows God listens to us. He who is not of God doesn't listen to us.
