1 John 4:6

---

← 1 John 4:5	1 John 4:6 (KJV)	1 John 4:7 →
They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.	We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.	Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
