1 John 2:18

« 1 John 11 John 21 John 3 »

18 Children, ^ait is the last hour; and just as you heard that ^bantichrist is coming, ^ceven now many antichrists have appeared. From this we know that it is the last hour.

1 John 2:19

« 1 John 11 John 21 John 3 »

19 ^aThey went out from us, but they were not really of us; for if they were of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, ^bso that ¹it would be manifested that they all are not of us.

1 John 4:1-3

Test the Spirits

^aBeloved, do not believe every ^bspirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because ^cmany false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 By this you know the Spirit of God: ^aevery spirit that ^bconfesses that ^cJesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3 and every spirit that ^adoes not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the ^bantichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and ^cnow it is already in the world.
