神的靈和敵基督的靈
4 各位蒙愛的人哪，你們不要每一個靈都相信，而要分辨這些靈是否出於神，因為有許多假先知已經在世上出現了。
2 你們從這一點就認出神的靈：任何靈承認耶穌基督是以肉身而來的[a]，這靈就是出於神； 3 任何靈不承認耶穌[b]的，這靈就不是出於神，而是那敵基督者的靈。你們聽說過這靈要來，而它現在已經在世上了。
4 孩子們哪，你們屬於神，而且你們已經勝過了假先知們[c]，因為那在你們裡面的，比那在世界上的更大。 5 他們屬於世界，所以他們說的屬於世界，而世界也聽從他們。 6 我們屬於神，那認識神的，就聽從我們；那不屬於神的，就不聽從我們。由此，我們就認出真理的靈和迷惑人的靈。
在愛中認識神
7 各位蒙愛的人哪，讓我們彼此相愛，因為愛是出於神的。凡是有愛的，都由神所生，並且認識神； 8 那沒有愛的，就不認識神，因為神就是愛。 9 神差派了自己的獨生子到世上來，好使我們能藉著他而活；如此，屬神的愛就在我們裡面顯明了。 10 並不是我們愛了神，而是神愛了我們，差派他的兒子來，為我們的罪孽做了平息祭[d]——在這裡就是愛了。 11 各位蒙愛的人哪，既然神如此愛我們，我們也應該彼此相愛。 12 從來沒有人見過神；如果我們彼此相愛，神就住在我們裡面，他的愛也就在我們裡面得以完全。
13 我們從這一點知道：我們住在他裡面，而他也住在我們裡面，是因為神把他的靈賜給了我們； 14 我們已經見過，並且現在見證：父差派子做世界的救主， 15 凡是承認耶穌是神兒子的，神就住在他裡面，他也住在神裡面。 16 這樣，我們已經認識並相信了神對我們所懷的愛。神就是愛；那住在愛裡面的，就住在神裡面，神也住[e]在他裡面。
17 從這一點，愛在我們裡面得以完全，使我們在審判的日子可以坦然無懼，因為基督[f]怎樣，我們在這世上也怎樣。 18 愛裡沒有懼怕；相反，完美的愛能除去懼怕，因為懼怕帶有懲罰；而那懼怕的，在愛裡沒有得以完全。 19 我們愛[g]，是因為他先愛了我們。
遵守神的命令
20 如果有人說「我愛神」，卻恨自己的弟兄，他就是說謊者，因為一個人不愛自己所看到的弟兄，就不能愛沒有看到的神。[h] 21 這是我們從基督[i]所領受的命令：愛神的，也要愛自己的弟兄。

靈的分辨
4 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！ 2 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。 3 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。
4 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。 5 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。 6 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
7 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。 8 沒有愛心的人不認識上帝，因為上帝就是愛。 9 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。
13 上帝將祂的靈賜給了我們，所以我們知道自己住在祂裡面，祂也住在我們裡面。 14 我們看見過，現在做見證：父差遣了祂的兒子成為世人的救主。 15 無論是誰，他若承認耶穌是上帝的兒子，上帝必住在他裡面，他也住在上帝裡面。 16 我們已經認識並且相信了上帝對我們的愛。
上帝就是愛，住在愛中的，就是住在上帝裡面，上帝也住在他裡面。 17 這樣，愛在我們裡面得到成全，使我們在審判的日子可以坦然無懼，因為我們在這世上以基督為榜樣。 18 愛裡沒有恐懼，純全的愛能驅除恐懼，因為恐懼意味著怕受懲罰。人若心裡恐懼，就表示他尚未明白那純全的愛。
19 我們愛，因為上帝先愛了我們。 20 若有人說「我愛上帝」，卻恨自己的弟兄姊妹，這人就是說謊話，因為人若不愛看得見的弟兄姊妹，又怎能愛看不見的上帝呢？ 21 愛上帝的人也應該愛弟兄姊妹，這是上帝給我們的命令。

4 Beloved, don’t believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit who confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, 3 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. Now it is in the world already. 4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world. 5 They are of the world. Therefore they speak of the world, and the world hears them. 6 We are of God. He who knows God listens to us. He who is not of God doesn’t listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
7 Beloved, let’s love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 He who doesn’t love doesn’t know God, for God is love. 9 By this God’s love was revealed in us, that God has sent his only born[a] Son into the world that we might live through him. 10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning sacrifice[b] for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God loved us in this way, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God remains in us, and his love has been perfected in us.
13 By this we know that we remain in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. 14 We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as the Savior of the world. 15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him, and he in God. 16 We know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him. 17 In this, love has been made perfect among us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, because as he is, even so we are in this world. 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has punishment. He who fears is not made perfect in love. 19 We love him,[c] because he first loved us. 20 If a man says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who doesn’t love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? 21 This commandment we have from him, that he who loves God should also love his brother.

On Denying the Incarnation
4 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) 2 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) 3 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)
4 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) 5 They are from the world(L) and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them. 6 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
7 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) 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.(S) 9 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)
13 This is how we know(AC) that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit.(AD) 14 And we have seen and testify(AE) that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.(AF) 15 If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God,(AG) God lives in them and they in God.(AH) 16 And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.
God is love.(AI) Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.(AJ) 17 This is how love is made complete(AK) among us so that we will have confidence(AL) on the day of judgment:(AM) In this world we are like Jesus. 18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear,(AN) because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
19 We love because he first loved us.(AO) 20 Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister(AP) is a liar.(AQ) For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen,(AR) cannot love God, whom they have not seen.(AS) 21 And he has given us this command:(AT) Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.(AU)
