1Beloved, believe not every Spirit [Ruach], but try the spirits whether they are of God-The Father: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2Hereby know you^2f the Spirit [Ruach] of God-The Father: Every Spirit [Ruach] that confesses that Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah] is come in the flesh is of God-The Father: 3And every Spirit [Ruach] that confesses not that Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah] is come in the flesh is not of God-The Father: and this is that [Spirit [Ruach]] of antichrist, whereof you^2f have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. 4You^2f are of God-The Father, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. 5They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world hears them. 6We are of God-The Father: he that knows God-The Father hears us; he that is not of God-The Father hears not us. Hereby know we the Spirit [Ruach] of truth, and the Spirit [Ruach] of error.

7Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God-The Father; and every one that loves is born of God-The Father, and knows God-The Father. 8He that loves not knows not God-The Father; for God-The Father is love. 9In this was manifested the love of God-The Father toward us, because that God-The Father sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10Herein is love, not that we loved God-The Father, but that he loved us, and sent his Son [to be] the Propitiation (sacrifice to pay for sins against God, to satisfy His righteous anger) for our sins. 11Beloved, if God-The Father so loved us, we ought also to love one another. 12No man has seen God-The Father at any time. If we love one another, God-The Father dwells in us, and his love is perfected in us. 13Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit [Ruach]. 14And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son [to be] the Saviour of the world.

15Whosoever shall confess that Yeshua [God is Salvation]is the Son of God-The Father, God-The Father dwells in him, and he in God-The Father. 16And we have known and believed the love that God-The Father has to us. God-The Father is love; and he that dwells in love dwells in God-The Father, and God-The Father in him. 17Herein 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. 18There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear: because fear has torment. He that fears is not made perfect in love. 19We love him, because he first loved us. 20If a man say, I love God-The Father, and hates his brother, he is a liar: for he that loves not his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God-The Father whom he has not seen? 21And this commandment have we from him, That he who loves God-The Father love his brother also.
