1 John 4:4-6
Amplified Bible
4 Little children (believers, dear ones), you are of God and you belong to Him and have [already] overcome them [the agents of the antichrist]; because He who is in you is greater than he (Satan) who is in the world [of sinful mankind]. 5 They [who teach twisted doctrine] are of the world and belong to it; therefore they speak from the [viewpoint of the] world [with its immoral freedom and baseless theories—demanding compliance with their opinions and ridiculing the values of the upright], and the [gullible one of the] world listens closely and pays attention to them. 6 We [who teach God’s word] are from God [energized by the Holy Spirit], and whoever knows God [through personal experience] listens to us [and has a deeper understanding of Him]. Whoever is not of God does not listen to us. By this we know [without any doubt] the spirit of truth [motivated by God] and the spirit of error [motivated by Satan].

New American Standard Bible
4 You are from God, (A)little children, and (B)have overcome them; because (C)greater is He who is in you than (D)he who is in the world. 5 (E)They are from the world, therefore they speak as from the world, and the world listens to them. 6 (F)We are from God. (G)The one who knows God listens to us; (H)the one who is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know (I)the spirit of truth and (J)the spirit of error.
