1 Iohn 4

1 He warneth them not to believe all teachers, who boast of the Spirit, but to try them by the rules of the catholick faith: 7 and by many reasons exhorteth to brotherly love.

 4:1 ¶ Beloued, 27 beleeue 4100 z5720 not 3361 euery 3956 spirit, 4151 but 235 trie 1381 z5720 the x3588 spirits, 4151 whether 1487 they are 2076 z5748 of 1537 God: 2316 because 3754 many 4183 false prophets 5578 are gone out 1831 z5758 into 1519 the x3588 world. 2889

 4:2 Hereby 1722 5129 y3739 know x1097 ye y1097 z5719 z5720 the x3588 spirit 4151 of God: 2316 euery 3956 spirit 4151 that x3739 confesseth 3670 z5719 that Iesus 2424 Christ 5547 is come 2064 z5756 in 1722 the flesh, 4561 is 2076 z5748 of 1537 God. 2316

 4:3 And 2532 euery 3956 Spirit 4151 that 3739 confesseth 3670 z5719 not 3361 that Iesus 2424 Christ 5547 is come 2064 z5756 in 1722 the flesh, 4561 is 2076 z5748 not 3756 of 1537 God: 2316 and 2532 this 5124 is 2076 z5748 that x3588 [spirit] of Antichrist, 500 whereof 3739 you haue heard, 191 z5754 that 3754 it should come, 2064 z5736 and x2532 euen y2532 now 3568 already 2235 is x2076 it y2076 z5748 in 1722 the x3588 world. 2889

 4:4 Ye 5210 are 2075 z5748 of 1537 God, 2316 little children, 5040 and 2532 haue ouercome 3528 z5758 them: 846 because 3754 greater 3187 is x2076 he x3588 that is y2076 z5748 in 1722 you, 5213 then 2228 he x3588 that is in 1722 the x3588 world. 2889

 4:5 They 846 are 1526 z5748 of 1537 the x3588 world: 2889 therefore 1223 5124 speake x2980 they y2980 z5719 of 1537 the x3588 world, 2889 and 2532 the x3588 world 2889 heareth 191 z5719 them. 846

 4:6 We 2249 are 2070 z5748 of 1537 God: 2316 hee that knoweth 1097 z5723 God, 2316 heareth 191 z5719 vs: 2257 he that 3739 is 2076 z5748 not 3756 of 1537 God 2316 heareth 191 z5719 not 3756 vs, 2257 hereby 1537 5127 know x1097 wee y1097 z5719 the x3588 spirit 4151 of trueth, 225 and 2532 the x3588 spirit 4151 of errour. 4106

 4:7 Beloued, 27 let vs loue 25 z5725 one another; 240 for 3754 loue 26 is 2076 z5748 of 1537 God: 2316 and 2532 euery one 3956 that loueth, 25 z5723 is borne 1080 z5769 of 1537 God 2316 and 2532 knoweth 1097 z5719 God. 2316

 4:8 Hee that loueth 25 z5723 not, 3361 knoweth 1097 z5627 not 3756 God: 2316 for 3754 God 2316 is 2076 z5748 loue. 26

 4:9 In 1722 this 5129 was manifested 5319 z5681 the x3588 loue 26 of God 2316 towards 1722 vs, 2254 because 3754 that God 2316 sent 649 z5758 his y846 x848 only begotten 3439 Sonne 5207 into 1519 the x3588 world, 2889 that 2443 we might liue 2198 z5661 through 1223 him. 846

 4:10 Herein 1722 5129 is 2076 z5748 loue, 26 not y3754 x3756 that y3756 x3754 wee 2249 loued 25 z5656 God, 2316 but 235 that 3754 he 846 loued 25 z5656 vs, 2248 and 2532 sent 649 z5656 his y846 x848 Sonne 5207 to be ye propitiation 2434 for 4012 our 2257 sins. 266

 4:11 Beloued, 27 if 1487 God 2316 so 3779 loued 25 z5656 vs, 2248 wee 2249 ought 3784 z5719 also 2532 to loue 25 z5721 one another. 240

 4:12 No man 3762 hath seene 2300 z5766 God 2316 at any time. 4455 If 1437 wee loue 25 z5725 one another, 240 God 2316 dwelleth 3306 z5719 in 1722 vs, 2254 and 2532 his y846 x848 loue 26 is 2076 z5748 perfected 5048 z5772 in 1722 vs. 2254

 4:13 Hereby 1722 5129 know x1097 wee y1097 z5719 that 3754 we dwell 3306 z5719 in 1722 him 846 and 2532 he 846 in 1722 vs, 2254 because 3754 hee hath giuen 1325 z5758 vs 2254 of 1537 his y846 x848 Spirit. 4151

 4:14 And 2532 we 2249 haue seene, 2300 z5766 and 2532 doe testifie, 3140 z5719 that 3754 the x3588 Father 3962 sent 649 z5758 the x3588 Sonne 5207 [to be] the Sauiour 4990 of the x3588 world. 2889

 4:15 Whosoeuer 3739 302 shall confesse 3670 z5661 that 3754 Iesus 2424 is 2076 z5748 the x3588 Sonne 5207 of God, 2316 God 2316 dwelleth 3306 z5719 in 1722 him, 846 and 2532 he 846 in 1722 God. 2316

 4:16 And 2532 we 2249 haue knowen 1097 z5758 and 2532 beleeued 4100 z5758 the x3588 loue 26 that 3739 God 2316 hath 2192 z5719 to 1722 vs. 2254 God 2316 is 2076 z5748 loue, 26 and 2532 hee that dwelleth 3306 z5723 in 1722 loue, 26 dwelleth 3306 z5719 in 1722 God, 2316 and 2532 God 2316 in 1722 him. 846

 4:17 Herein 1722 5129 is x3326 our 2257 y3326 loue 26 made perfect, 5048 z5769 that 2443 wee may haue 2192 z5725 boldnesse 3954 in 1722 the x3588 day 2250 of Iudgement, 2920 because 3754 as 2531 hee 1565 is, 2076 z5748 so 2532 are 2070 z5748 we 2249 in 1722 this 5129 world. 2889

 4:18 There is 2076 z5748 no 3756 feare 5401 in 1722 loue, 26 but 235 perfect 5046 loue 26 casteth 906 z5719 out 1854 feare: 5401 because 3754 feare 5401 hath 2192 z5719 torment: 2851 1161 hee that feareth, 5399 z5740 is y5048 z0 not 3756 made perfect 5048 z5769 in 1722 loue. 26

 4:19 We 2249 loue 25 z5719 z5725 him: 846 because 3754 hee 846 first 4413 loued 25 z5656 vs. 2248

 4:20 If 1437 a man 5100 say, 2036 z5632 y3754 I loue 25 z5719 God, 2316 and 2532 hateth 3404 z5725 his y846 x848 brother, 80 he is 2076 z5748 a lyar. 5583 For 1063 hee that loueth 25 z5723 not 3361 his y846 x848 brother 80 whom 3739 hee hath seene, 3708 z5758 how 4459 can 1410 z5736 he loue 25 z5721 God 2316 whom 3739 he hath y3708 z0 not 3756 seene? 3708 z5758

 4:21 And 2532 this 5026 commandement 1785 haue x2192 we y2192 z5719 from 575 him, 846 that 2443 he who loueth 25 z5723 God, 2316 loue 25 z5725 his y846 x848 brother 80 also. 2532
