Test the Spirits

1Beloved, acdo not believe every spirit, but adtest the spirits to see whether they are from God, for aemany affalse prophets aghave gone out into the world. 2By this you know the Spirit of God: ahevery spirit that confesses that aiJesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3and every spirit ajthat does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and aknow is in the world already. 4Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for alhe who is in you is greater than amhe who is in the world. 5 anThey are from the world; therefore they speak from the world, and aothe world listens to them. 6We are from God. apWhoever knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know aqthe Spirit of truth and arthe spirit of error.
