Red-Letter King James Bible 1769 Edition (KJV)

1 John 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 ¶ Beloved, 27 believe 4100 z5720 not 3361 every 3956 spirit, 4151 but 235 try 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 Every 3956 spirit 4151 that x3739 confesseth 3670 z5719 that Jesus 2424 Christ 5547 is come 2064 z5756 in 1722 the flesh 4561 is 2076 z5748 of 1537 God: 2316

 4:3 And 2532 every 3956 spirit 4151 that 3739 confesseth 3670 z5719 not 3361 that Jesus 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 ye have heard 191 z5754 that 3754 it should come; 2064 z5736 and x2532 even 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 have overcome 3528 z5758 them: 846 because 3754 greater 3187 is x2076 he x3588 that is y2076 z5748 in 1722 you, 5213 than 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 speak 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 he that knoweth 1097 z5723 God 2316 heareth 191 z5719 us; 2257 he that 3739 is 2076 z5748 not 3756 of 1537 God 2316 heareth 191 z5719 not 3756 us. 2257 Hereby 1537 5127 know x1097 we y1097 z5719 the x3588 spirit 4151 of truth, 225 and 2532 the x3588 spirit 4151 of error. 4106

 4:7 Beloved, 27 let us love 25 z5725 one another: 240 for 3754 love 26 is 2076 z5748 of 1537 God; 2316 and 2532 every one 3956 that loveth 25 z5723 is born 1080 z5769 of 1537 God, 2316 and 2532 knoweth 1097 z5719 God. 2316

 4:8 He that loveth 25 z5723 not 3361 knoweth 1097 z5627 not 3756 God; 2316 for 3754 God 2316 is 2076 z5748 love. 26

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

 4:10 Herein 1722 5129 is 2076 z5748 love, 26 not y3754 x3756 that y3756 x3754 we 2249 loved 25 z5656 God, 2316 but 235 that 3754 he 846 loved 25 z5656 us, 2248 and 2532 sent 649 z5656 his y846 x848 Son 5207 [to be] the propitiation 2434 for 4012 our 2257 sins. 266

 4:11 Beloved, 27 if 1487 God 2316 so 3779 loved 25 z5656 us, 2248 we 2249 ought 3784 z5719 also 2532 to love 25 z5721 one another. 240

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

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

 4:14 And 2532 we 2249 have seen 2300 z5766 and 2532 do testify 3140 z5719 that 3754 the x3588 Father 3962 sent 649 z5758 the x3588 Son 5207 [to be] the Saviour 4990 of the x3588 world. 2889

 4:15 Whosoever 3739 302 shall confess 3670 z5661 that 3754 Jesus 2424 is 2076 z5748 the x3588 Son 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 have known 1097 z5758 and 2532 believed 4100 z5758 the x3588 love 26 that 3739 God 2316 hath 2192 z5719 to 1722 us. 2254 God 2316 is 2076 z5748 love; 26 and 2532 he that dwelleth 3306 z5723 in 1722 love 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 love 26 made perfect, 5048 z5769 that 2443 we may have 2192 z5725 boldness 3954 in 1722 the x3588 day 2250 of judgment: 2920 because 3754 as 2531 he 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 fear 5401 in 1722 love; 26 but 235 perfect 5046 love 26 casteth 906 z5719 out 1854 fear: 5401 because 3754 fear 5401 hath 2192 z5719 torment. 2851 1161 He that feareth 5399 z5740 is y5048 z0 not 3756 made perfect 5048 z5769 in 1722 love. 26

 4:19 We 2249 love 25 z5719 z5725 him, 846 because 3754 he 846 first 4413 loved 25 z5656 us. 2248

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

 4:21 And 2532 this 5026 commandment 1785 have x2192 we y2192 z5719 from 575 him, 846 That 2443 he who loveth 25 z5723 God 2316 love 25 z5725 his y846 x848 brother 80 also. 2532
