    1 John 4:1-6

    Amplified Bible (AMP)



    Testing the Spirits


    1.Beloved, do not believe every spirit [speaking through a self-proclaimed prophet]; instead test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets and teachers have gone out into the world.

    2 By this you know and recognize the Spirit of God:

    every spirit that acknowledges and confesses [the fact] that Jesus Christ has [actually] come in the flesh [as a man] is from God [God is its source];

    3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus [acknowledging that He has come in the flesh, but would deny any of the Son’s true nature] is not of God;

    this is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming, and is now already in the world.


    4 Little children (believers, dear ones), you are of God and you belong to Him and have [already] overcome them [the agents of the antichrist];

    because He who is in you is greater than he (Satan) who is in the world [of sinful mankind].

    5 They [who teach twisted doctrine] are of the world and belong to it; therefore they speak from the [viewpoint of the] world [with its immoral freedom and baseless theories—demanding compliance with their opinions and ridiculing the values of the upright], and the [gullible one of the] world listens closely and pays attention to them.


    6 We [who teach God’s word] are from God [energized by the Holy Spirit], and whoever knows God [through personal experience] listens to us [and has a deeper understanding of Him]. Whoever is not of God does not listen to us. By this we know [without any doubt] the spirit of truth [motivated by God] and the spirit of error [motivated by Satan].
