3. and every spirit which does not confess Jesus Christ come in flesh is not of God: and this is that power of the antichrist, of which ye have heard that it comes, and now it is already in the world.
4. Ye are of God, children, and have overcome them, because greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world.
5. They are of the world; for this reason they speak as of the world, and the world hears them.
6. We are of God; he that knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. From this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.
7. Beloved, let us love one another; because love is of God, and every one that loves has been begotten of God, and knows God.
8. He that loves not has not known God; for God is love.
9. Herein as to us has been manifested the love of God, that God has sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
10. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son a propitiation for our sins.
11. Beloved, if God has so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
12. No one has seen God at any time: if we love one another, God abides in us, and his love is perfected in us.
13. Hereby we know that we abide in him and he in us, that he has given to us of his Spirit.
