1. Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of Elohim: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

2. Hereby know ye the Spirit of Elohim: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of Elohim:

3. And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of Elohim: and this is that of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

4. Ye are of Elohim, 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 of the world, and the world heareth them.

6. We are of Elohim: he that knoweth Elohim heareth us; he that is not of Elohim heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

7. Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of Elohim; and every one that loveth is born of Elohim, and knoweth Elohim.

8. He that loveth not knoweth not Elohim; for Elohim is love.

9. In this was manifested the love of Elohim toward us, because that Elohim sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

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

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

12. No man hath seen Elohim at any time. If we love one another, Elohim dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

13. Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.

14. And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son the Saviour of the world.

15. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of Elohim, Elohim dwelleth in him, and he in Elohim.

16. And we have known and believed the love that Elohim hath to us. Elohim is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in Elohim, and Elohim in him.

17. Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

18. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

19. We love him, because he first loved us.

20. If a man say, I love Elohim, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love Elohim whom he hath not seen?

21. And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth Elohim love his brother also.
