Dual Panel1Beloved <27>_, believe <4100> (5720) not <3361> every <3956> spirit <4151>_, but <235> try <1381> (5720) the spirits <4151> whether <1487> they are <2076> (5748) of <1537> God <2316>_: because <3754> many <4183> false prophets <5578> are gone out <1831> (5758) into <1519> the world <2889>_.
2Hereby <1722> <3739> <5129> know ye <1097> (5719) (5720) the Spirit <4151> of God <2316>_: Every <3956> spirit <4151> that confesseth <3670> (5719) that Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> is come <2064> (5756) in <1722> the flesh <4561> is <2076> (5748) of <1537> God <2316>_:
3And <2532> every <3956> spirit <4151> that <3739> confesseth <3670> (5719) not <3361> that Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> is come <2064> (5756) in <1722> the flesh <4561> is <2076> (5748) not <3756> of <1537> God <2316>_: and <2532> this <5124> is <2076> (5748) that [spirit] of antichrist <500>_, whereof <3739> ye have heard <191> (5754) that <3754> it should come <2064> (5736)_; and even <2532> now <3568> already <2235> is it <2076> (5748) in <1722> the world <2889>_.
4Ye <5210> are <2075> (5748) of <1537> God <2316>_, little children <5040>_, and <2532> have overcome <3528> (5758) them <846>_: because <3754> greater <3187> is he that is <2076> (5748) in <1722> you <5213>_, than <2228> he that is in <1722> the world <2889>_.
5They <846> are <1526> (5748) of <1537> the world <2889>_: therefore <1223> <5124> speak they <2980> (5719) of <1537> the world <2889>_, and <2532> the world <2889> heareth <191> (5719) them <846>_.
6We <2249> are <2070> (5748) of <1537> God <2316>_: he that knoweth <1097> (5723) God <2316> heareth <191> (5719) us <2257>_; he that <3739> is <2076> (5748) not <3756> of <1537> God <2316> heareth <191> (5719) not <3756> us <2257>_. Hereby <1537> <5127> know we <1097> (5719) the spirit <4151> of truth <225>_, and <2532> the spirit <4151> of error <4106>_.
7Beloved <27>_, let us love <25> (5725) one another <240>_: for <3754> love <26> is <2076> (5748) of <1537> God <2316>_; and <2532> every one <3956> that loveth <25> (5723) is born <1080> (5769) of <1537> God <2316>_, and <2532> knoweth <1097> (5719) God <2316>_. {is born: Gr. has been born}
8He that loveth <25> (5723) not <3361> knoweth <1097> (5627) not <3756> God <2316>_; for <3754> God <2316> is <2076> (5748) love <26>_.
9In <1722> this <5129> was manifested <5319> (5681) the love <26> of God <2316> toward <1722> us <2254>_, because <3754> that God <2316> sent <649> (5758) his <846> only begotten <3439> Son <5207> into <1519> the world <2889>_, that <2443> we might live <2198> (5661) through <1223> him <846>_.
10Herein <1722> <5129> is <2076> (5748) love <26>_, not <3754> that <3756> we <2249> loved <25> (5656) God <2316>_, but <235> that <3754> he <846> loved <25> (5656) us <2248>_, and <2532> sent <649> (5656) his <846> Son <5207> [to be] the propitiation <2434> for <4012> our <2257> sins <266>_.
11Beloved <27>_, if <1487> God <2316> so <3779> loved <25> (5656) us <2248>_, we <2249> ought <3784> (5719) also <2532> to love <25> (5721) one another <240>_.
12No man <3762> hath seen <2300> (5766) God <2316> at any time <4455>_. If <1437> we love <25> (5725) one another <240>_, God <2316> dwelleth <3306> (5719) in <1722> us <2254>_, and <2532> his <846> love <26> is <2076> (5748) perfected <5048> (5772) in <1722> us <2254>_.
13Hereby <1722> <5129> know we <1097> (5719) that <3754> we dwell <3306> (5719) in <1722> him <846>_, and <2532> he <846> in <1722> us <2254>_, because <3754> he hath given <1325> (5758) us <2254> of <1537> his <846> Spirit <4151>_.
14And <2532> we <2249> have seen <2300> (5766) and <2532> do testify <3140> (5719) that <3754> the Father <3962> sent <649> (5758) the Son <5207> [to be] the Saviour <4990> of the world <2889>_.
15Whosoever <3739> <302> shall confess <3670> (5661) that <3754> Jesus <2424> is <2076> (5748) the Son <5207> of God <2316>_, God <2316> dwelleth <3306> (5719) in <1722> him <846>_, and <2532> he <846> in <1722> God <2316>_.
16And <2532> we <2249> have known <1097> (5758) and <2532> believed <4100> (5758) the love <26> that <3739> God <2316> hath <2192> (5719) to <1722> us <2254>_. God <2316> is <2076> (5748) love <26>_; and <2532> he that dwelleth <3306> (5723) in <1722> love <26> dwelleth <3306> (5719) in <1722> God <2316>_, and <2532> God <2316> in <1722> him <846>_.
17Herein <1722> <5129> is our <3326> <2257> love <26> made perfect <5048> (5769)_, that <2443> we may have <2192> (5725) boldness <3954> in <1722> the day <2250> of judgment <2920>_: because <3754> as <2531> he <1565> is <2076> (5748)_, so <2532> are <2070> (5748) we <2249> in <1722> this <5129> world <2889>_. {our love: Gr. love with us}
18There is <2076> (5748) no <3756> fear <5401> in <1722> love <26>_; but <235> perfect <5046> love <26> casteth <906> (5719) out <1854> fear <5401>_: because <3754> fear <5401> hath <2192> (5719) torment <2851>_. <1161> He that feareth <5399> (5740) is <5048> (0) not <3756> made perfect <5048> (5769) in <1722> love <26>_.
19We <2249> love <25> (5719) (5725) him <846>_, because <3754> he <846> first <4413> loved <25> (5656) us <2248>_.
20If <1437> a man <5100> say <2036> (5632)_, <3754> I love <25> (5719) God <2316>_, and <2532> hateth <3404> (5725) his <846> brother <80>_, he is <2076> (5748) a liar <5583>_: for <1063> he that loveth <25> (5723) not <3361> his <846> brother <80> whom <3739> he hath seen <3708> (5758)_, how <4459> can <1410> (5736) he love <25> (5721) God <2316> whom <3739> he hath <3708> (0) not <3756> seen <3708> (5758)_?
21And <2532> this <5026> commandment <1785> have we <2192> (5719) from <575> him <846>_, That <2443> he who loveth <25> (5723) God <2316> love <25> (5725) his <846> brother <80> also <2532>_.
