1 John 4:1

How To Recognize The Spirit Of God

¹ Beloved, believe not every spirit, but prove the spirits if they are of God: because many false prophets have gone out into the world. ² In this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit which confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God:

By The Spirit

Try The Spirits
