⁴ You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than ^(A)he who is in the world.

God’s Everlasting Love

³¹ What then shall we say to these things? ^(A)If God is for us, who can be against us?

⁴ For ^(A)whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that ^(B)has overcome the world—^[a]our faith.

^37 (A)Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

¹⁶ And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and ^(A)he who abides in love abides in God, and God ^(B)in him.

¹² Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but ^(A)the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.

¹⁰ And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. ¹¹ But if the Spirit of ^(A)Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, ^(B)He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies ^[a]through His Spirit who dwells in you.

¹⁹ We know that we are of God, and ^(A)the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one.

¹² For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against ^(A)principalities, against powers, against ^(B)the rulers of ^[a]the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. ^13 (C)Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand ^(D)in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

^13 (A)By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit.
