← 1 John

---

• A. 1-3a Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God...every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist

• B. 3b whereof ye have heard that it should come

• C. 3c and even now already is it in the world

• D. 4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world

• C'. 5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them

• B'. 6a We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us

• A'. 6b Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error
