Testing the Spirits

Ἀγαπητοί μὴ παντὶ πνεύματι πιστεύετε ἀλλὰ δοκιμάζετε τὰ πνεύματα εἰ ἐκ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐστιν ὅτι πολλοὶ ψευδοπροφῆται ἐξεληλύθασιν εἰς τὸν κόσμον Ἐν τούτῳ γινώσκετε τὸ Πνεῦμα τοῦ Θεοῦ πᾶν πνεῦμα ὁμολογεῖ Ἰησοῦν Χριστὸν ἐν σαρκὶ ἐληλυθότα ἐκ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐστιν καὶ πᾶν πνεῦμα μὴ ὁμολογεῖ τὸν Ἰησοῦν ⧼χριστὸν ἐν σαρκὶ ἐληλυθότα⧽ ἐκ τοῦ Θεοῦ οὐκ ἔστιν καὶ τοῦτό ἐστιν τὸ τοῦ ἀντιχρίστου ἀκηκόατε ὅτι ἔρχεται καὶ νῦν ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ ἐστὶν ἤδη Ὑμεῖς ἐκ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐστε τεκνία καὶ νενικήκατε αὐτούς ὅτι μείζων ἐστὶν ἐν ὑμῖν ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ αὐτοὶ ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου εἰσίν διὰ τοῦτο ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου λαλοῦσιν καὶ κόσμος αὐτῶν ἀκούει ἡμεῖς ἐκ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐσμεν γινώσκων τὸν Θεὸν ἀκούει ἡμῶν ὃς οὐκ ἔστιν ἐκ τοῦ Θεοῦ οὐκ ἀκούει ἡμῶν ἐκ τούτου γινώσκομεν τὸ πνεῦμα τῆς ἀληθείας καὶ τὸ πνεῦμα τῆς πλάνης

Love Comes from God

Ἀγαπητοί ἀγαπῶμεν ἀλλήλους ὅτι ἀγάπη ἐκ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐστιν καὶ πᾶς ἀγαπῶν ἐκ τοῦ Θεοῦ γεγέννηται καὶ γινώσκει τὸν Θεόν μὴ ἀγαπῶν οὐκ ἔγνω τὸν Θεόν ὅτι Θεὸς ἀγάπη ἐστίν Ἐν τούτῳ ἐφανερώθη ἀγάπη τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐν ἡμῖν ὅτι τὸν Υἱὸν αὐτοῦ τὸν μονογενῆ ἀπέσταλκεν Θεὸς εἰς τὸν κόσμον ἵνα ζήσωμεν δι’ αὐτοῦ 10 ἐν τούτῳ ἐστὶν ἀγάπη οὐχ ὅτι ἡμεῖς ἠγαπήκαμεν τὸν Θεόν ἀλλ’ ὅτι αὐτὸς ἠγάπησεν ἡμᾶς καὶ ἀπέστειλεν τὸν Υἱὸν αὐτοῦ ἱλασμὸν περὶ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν ἡμῶν 11 Ἀγαπητοί εἰ οὕτως Θεὸς ἠγάπησεν ἡμᾶς καὶ ἡμεῖς ὀφείλομεν ἀλλήλους ἀγαπᾶν 12 Θεὸν οὐδεὶς πώποτε τεθέαται ἐὰν ἀγαπῶμεν ἀλλήλους Θεὸς ἐν ἡμῖν μένει καὶ ἀγάπη αὐτοῦ τετελειωμένη «ἐν ἡμῖν» ἐστιν 13 ἐν τούτῳ γινώσκομεν ὅτι ἐν αὐτῷ μένομεν καὶ αὐτὸς ἐν ἡμῖν ὅτι ἐκ τοῦ Πνεύματος αὐτοῦ δέδωκεν ἡμῖν 14 καὶ ἡμεῖς τεθεάμεθα καὶ μαρτυροῦμεν ὅτι Πατὴρ ἀπέσταλκεν τὸν Υἱὸν Σωτῆρα τοῦ κόσμου

15 Ὃς ἐὰν ὁμολογήσῃ ὅτι Ἰησοῦς (Χριστός) ἐστιν Υἱὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ Θεὸς ἐν αὐτῷ μένει καὶ αὐτὸς ἐν τῷ Θεῷ 16 καὶ ἡμεῖς ἐγνώκαμεν καὶ πεπιστεύκαμεν τὴν ἀγάπην ἣν ἔχει Θεὸς ἐν ἡμῖν Θεὸς ἀγάπη ἐστίν καὶ μένων ἐν τῇ ἀγάπῃ ἐν τῷ Θεῷ μένει καὶ Θεὸς ἐν αὐτῷ μένει 17 Ἐν τούτῳ τετελείωται ἀγάπη μεθ’ ἡμῶν ἵνα παρρησίαν ἔχωμεν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῆς κρίσεως ὅτι καθὼς ἐκεῖνός ἐστιν καὶ ἡμεῖς ἐσμεν ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ τούτῳ 18 Φόβος οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν τῇ ἀγάπῃ ἀλλ’ τελεία ἀγάπη ἔξω βάλλει τὸν φόβον ὅτι φόβος κόλασιν ἔχει δὲ φοβούμενος οὐ τετελείωται ἐν τῇ ἀγάπῃ 19 Ἡμεῖς ἀγαπῶμεν ὅτι αὐτὸς πρῶτος ἠγάπησεν ἡμᾶς 20 Ἐάν τις εἴπῃ ὅτι Ἀγαπῶ τὸν Θεόν καὶ τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ μισῇ ψεύστης ἐστίν γὰρ μὴ ἀγαπῶν τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ ὃν ἑώρακεν τὸν Θεὸν ὃν οὐχ ἑώρακεν οὐ δύναται ἀγαπᾶν 21 καὶ ταύτην τὴν ἐντολὴν ἔχομεν ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ ἵνα ἀγαπῶν τὸν Θεὸν ἀγαπᾷ καὶ τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ
