1 John 4:1
NASB
1 Jo 4:1
&
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
1 Jo 4:2
&
By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God;
1 Jo 4:3
&
and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the {spirit} of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world.
