1 John 4:5
Compare all
3 and every spirit that does not confess1 that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.  
4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than ahe who is in the world.  
5 aThey are of the world. Therefore they speak as of the world, and bthe world hears them.  
6 We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. aBy this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.
