1 John 4:2-3

2By this you know the Spirit of God: aevery spirit that confesses that bJesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3and every spirit cthat does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and dnow is in the world already.

1 John 5:20

20And we know that the Son of God has come and ehas given us understanding, so that we may know fhim who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and geternal life.

2 John 7

7For hmany deceivers ihave gone out into the world, jthose who do not confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Such a one is the deceiver and the antichrist.
