Test the Spirits

1Beloved, hdo not believe every spirit, but itest the spirits to see whether they are from God, for jmany kfalse prophets lhave gone out into the world. 2By this you know the Spirit of God: mevery spirit that confesses that nJesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3and every spirit othat does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and pnow is in the world already.
