1 John 4:3 in Context — 1 John 4

1 AMADOS, no creáis á todo espíritu, sino probad los espíritus si son de Dios: porque muchos falsos profetas son salidos en el mundo.

2 En esto conoced el Espíritu de Dios: todo espíritu que confiesa que Jesucristo es venido en carne es de Dios:

3 Y todo espíritu que no confiesa que Jesucristo es venido en carne, no es de Dios: y éste es el [espíritu] del anticristo, del cual vosotros habéis oído que ha de venir, y que ahora ya está en el mundo.

4 Hijitos, vosotros sois de Dios, y los habéis vencido; porque el que en vosotros está, es mayor que el que está en el mundo.

5 Ellos son del mundo; por eso hablan del mundo, y el mundo los oye.
