1 John 4

¹Beloved, believe not every Spirit [Ruach] , but try the spirits whether they are of God-The Father: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

²Hereby know you2f the Spirit [Ruach] of God-The Father: Every Spirit [Ruach] that confesses that Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah] is come in the flesh is of God-The Father:

³And every Spirit [Ruach] that confesses not that Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah] is come in the flesh is not of God-The Father: and this is that [Spirit [Ruach] ] of antichrist, whereof you2f have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

⁴You2f are of God-The Father, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

⁵They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world hears them.

⁶We are of God-The Father: he that knows God-The Father hears us; he that is not of God-The Father hears not us. Hereby know we the Spirit [Ruach] of truth, and the Spirit [Ruach] of error.

⁷Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God-The Father; and every one that loves is born of God-The Father, and knows God-The Father.

⁸He that loves not knows not God-The Father; for God-The Father is love.

⁹In this was manifested the love of God-The Father toward us, because that God-The Father sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

¹⁰Herein is love, not that we loved God-The Father, but that he loved us, and sent his Son [to be] the Propitiation (sacrifice to pay for sins against God, to satisfy His righteous anger) for our sins.

¹¹Beloved, if God-The Father so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

¹²No man has seen God-The Father at any time. If we love one another, God-The Father dwells in us, and his love is perfected in us.

¹³Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit [Ruach] .

¹⁴And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son [to be] the Saviour of the world.

¹⁵Whosoever shall confess that Yeshua [God is Salvation] is the Son of God-The Father, God-The Father dwells in him, and he in God-The Father.

¹⁶And we have known and believed the love that God-The Father has to us. God-The Father is love; and he that dwells in love dwells in God-The Father, and God-The Father in him.

¹⁷Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

¹⁸There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear: because fear has torment. He that fears is not made perfect in love.

¹⁹We love him, because he first loved us.

²⁰If a man say, I love God-The Father, and hates his brother, he is a liar: for he that loves not his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God-The Father whom he has not seen?

²¹And this commandment have we from him, That he who loves God-The Father love his brother also.
