1 John 4:2 in Context — 1 John 4

1 Amados, não creiais em todo espírito, mas provai se os espíritos são da parte de Deus; porque muitos falsos profetas têm vindo ao mundo.

2 Nisto conhecereis o Espírito de Deus: todo espírito que confessa que Jesus Cristo veio em carne é de Deus;

3 e todo espírito que não confessa que Jesus Cristo veio em carne não é de Deus; e este é o do anticristo, do qual já ouvistes que virá, e que já agora está no mundo.

4 Filhinhos, vós sois de Deus, e tendes vencido esses; pois maior é o que está em vós do que o que está no mundo.
