3 and that no spirit is from God which does not acknowledge this about Jesus. Such is the spirit of the anti-Christ; of whose coming you have heard, and it is already in the world. 4 As for you, dear children, you are God's children, and have successfully resisted them; for greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world. 5 They are the world's children, and so their language is that of the world, and the world listens to them. We are God's children.
