1 John 4:4 Context
2Hereby know ye the spirit of God: euery spirit that confesseth that Iesus Christ is come in the flesh, is of God. 3And euery Spirit that confesseth not that Iesus Christ is come in the flesh, is not of God: and this is that spirit of Antichrist, whereof you haue heard, that it should come, and euen now already is it in the world. 4Ye are of God, little children, and haue ouercome them: because greater is he that is in you, then he that is in the world. 5They are of the world: therefore speake they of the world, and the world heareth them. 6We are of God: hee that knoweth God, heareth vs: he that is not of God heareth not vs, hereby know wee the spirit of trueth, and the spirit of errour.
