Context
Testing the Spirits
4:1 Dear friends , do not believe every spirit , but test the spirits to determine if they are from God , because many false prophets have gone out into the world .
4:2 By this you know the Spirit of God : Every spirit that confesses Jesus as the Christ who has come in the flesh is from God ,
4:3 but every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God , and this is the spirit of the antichrist , which you have heard is coming , and now is already in the world .
4:4 You are from God , little children , and have conquered them , because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world .
