1 John 4:6

How To Recognize The Spirit Of God

⁵ They are from the world. They speak that which is from the world and the world listens to them. ⁶ We are from God; he who knows God listens to us; he who is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error. ⁷ Beloved let us love one another, for love is from God. Everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.
