 | 4:1 | Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of Elohim: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. |
| 4:2 | Hereby know ye the Spirit of Elohim: Every spirit that confesseth that Yahshua Messiah is come in the flesh is of Elohim: |
| 4:3 | And every spirit that confesseth not that Yahshua Messiah is come in the flesh is not of Elohim: and this is that spirit of antimessiah, whereof ye have heard that it should come and even now already is it in the world. |
| 4:4 | Ye are of Elohim, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. |
| 4:5 | They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. |
| 4:6 | We are of Elohim: he that knoweth Elohim heareth us; he that is not of Elohim heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. |
| 4:7 | Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of Elohim; and every one that loveth is born of Elohim, and knoweth Elohim. |
| 4:8 | He that loveth not knoweth not Elohim; for Yahweh is love. |
| 4:9 | In this was manifested the love of Yahweh toward us, because that Yahweh sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. |
| 4:10 | Herein is love, not that we loved Yahweh, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. |
| 4:11 | Beloved, if Yahweh so loved us, we ought also to love one another. |
| 4:12 | No man hath seen Yahweh at any time. If we love one another, Elohim dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. |
| 4:13 | Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. |
| 4:14 | And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. |
| 4:15 | Whosoever shall confess that Yahshua is the Son of Yahweh, Elohim dwelleth in him, and he in Elohim. |
| 4:16 | And we have known and believed the love that Elohim hath to us. Yahweh is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in Elohim, and Elohim in him. |
| 4:17 | Herein is our love made perfect that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. |
| 4:18 | There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. |
| 4:19 | We love him, because he first loved us. |
| 4:20 | If a man say, I love Elohim, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love Elohim whom he hath not seen? |
| 4:21 | And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth Elohim love his brother also. |
