1

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but prove the spirits, whether they are of YAHUVEH; because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

2

Hereby know ye the Spirit of YAHUVEH: every spirit that confesseth that YAHUSHUA the Messiah is come in the flesh is of YAHUVEH:

3

and every spirit that confesseth not YAHUSHUA is not of YAHUVEH: and this is the spirit of the antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it cometh; and now it is in the world already.

4

Ye are of YAHUVEH, my little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world.

5

They are of the world: therefore speak they as of the world, and the world heareth them.

6

We are of YAHUVEH: he that knoweth YAHUVEH heareth us; he who is not of YAHUVEH heareth us not. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

7

Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of YAHUVEH; and every one that loveth is begotten of YAHUVEH, and knoweth YAHUVEH.

8

He that loveth not knoweth not YAHUVEH; for YAHUVEH is love.

9

Herein was the love of YAHUVEH manifested in us, that YAHUVEH hath sent his only begotten Son into the world that we might live through him.

10

Herein is love, not that we loved YAHUVEH, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

11

Beloved, if YAHUVEH so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

12

No man hath beheld YAHUVEH at any time: if we love one another, YAHUVEH abideth in us, and his love is perfected in us:

13

hereby we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.

14

And we have beheld and bear witness that the Father hath sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.

15

Whosoever shall confess that YAHUSHUA is the Son of YAHUVEH, YAHUVEH abideth in him, and he in YAHUVEH.

16

And we know and have believed the love which YAHUVEH hath in us. YAHUVEH is love; and he that abideth in love abideth in YAHUVEH, and YAHUVEH abideth in him.

17

Herein is love made perfect with us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as he is, even so are we in this world.

18

There is no fear in love: but perfect love casteth out fear, because fear hath punishment; and he that feareth is not made perfect in love.

19

We love, because he first loved us.

20

If a man say, I love YAHUVEH, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, cannot love YAHUVEH whom he hath not seen.

21

And this commandment have we from him, that he who loveth YAHUVEH love his brother also.
