靈的分辨

親愛的弟兄姊妹,不要什麼靈都信,總要試驗那些靈是否出於上帝,因為世上已經出現了許多假先知! 任何靈若承認耶穌基督曾降世為人,就是從上帝來的,你們可以憑這一點認出上帝的靈。 任何靈若不承認耶穌,就不是從上帝來的,而是敵基督者的靈。以前你們聽說敵基督者要來,現在他已經在世上了。

孩子們,你們屬於上帝,你們已經勝過了那些假先知,因為在你們裡面的聖靈比在世上運行的邪靈更有能力。 他們屬於世界,所以他們談論的都是世俗的事,世人也聽從他們。 我們屬於上帝,認識上帝的人聽從我們,不屬於上帝的人不聽從我們。這樣,我們就可以分辨真理的靈和錯謬的靈。

上帝是愛

親愛的弟兄姊妹,我們應當彼此相愛,因為愛是從上帝來的。凡有愛心的人都是從上帝生的,並且認識上帝。 沒有愛心的人不認識上帝,因為上帝就是愛。 上帝差遣祂獨一的兒子到世上來,是為了叫我們靠著祂得到生命。這就顯明了上帝對我們的愛。 10 不是我們愛上帝,而是上帝愛我們,並且差遣祂兒子為我們的罪作了贖罪祭,這就是愛。

11 親愛的弟兄姊妹,上帝既然這樣愛我們,我們也應該彼此相愛。 12 從來沒有人見過上帝,如果我們彼此相愛,上帝就住在我們裡面,祂的愛就在我們裡面得到成全。

On Denying the Incarnation

Dear friends,(A) do not believe every spirit,(B) but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.(C) This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh(D) is from God,(E) but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist,(F) which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.(G)

You, dear children,(H) are from God and have overcome them,(I) because the one who is in you(J) is greater than the one who is in the world.(K) They are from the world(L) and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them. We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us.(M) This is how we recognize the Spirit[a] of truth(N) and the spirit of falsehood.(O)

God’s Love and Ours

Dear friends, let us love one another,(P) for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God(Q) and knows God.(R) Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.(S) This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son(T) into the world that we might live through him.(U) 10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us(V) and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.(W) 11 Dear friends,(X) since God so loved us,(Y) we also ought to love one another.(Z) 12 No one has ever seen God;(AA) but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.(AB)
