1 John 4:4-7
New International Version
4 You, dear children,(A) are from God and have overcome them,(B) because the one who is in you(C) is greater than the one who is in the world.(D) 5 They are from the world(E) 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.(F) This is how we recognize the Spirit[a] of truth(G) and the spirit of falsehood.(H)
God’s Love and Ours
7 Dear friends, let us love one another,(I) for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God(J) and knows God.(K)
