1 John 4:5 in Context — 1 John 4

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.

6 Nosotros somos de Dios: el que conoce á Dios, nos oye: el que no es de Dios, no nos oye. Por esto conocemos el espíritu de verdad y el espíritu de error.

7 Carísimos, amémonos unos á otros; porque el amor es de Dios. Cualquiera que ama, es nacido de Dios, y conoce á Dios.
