1 John 4:3

---

← 1 John 4:2	1 John 4:3 (KJV)	1 John 4:4 →
Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:	And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that [spirit] of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.	Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
