Compare: 1 John 4

ASV

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

ASV

Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

ASV

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

ASV

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

ASV

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

ASV

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

ASV

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

ASV

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

ASV

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

ASV

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

ASV

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

ASV

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

ASV

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

ASV

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

ASV

Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God abideth in him, and he in God.

ASV

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

ASV

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.

ASV

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.

ASV

We love, because he first loved us.

ASV

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

ASV

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