1 John 4:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 [a]Hereby shall ye know the Spirit of God, [b]Every spirit which confesseth that [c]Jesus Christ is come in the [d]flesh is of God.
3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh, is not of God: but this is the spirit of Antichrist, of whom ye have heard, how that he should come, and now already he is in this world.
4 [e]Little children, ye are of God, and have overcome them: for greater is he that is in you, than he that is in this world.
