Rotherham - I John - 4

4:1  Beloved! not in every spirit, believe ye, but test the spirits, whether they are, of God; because, many false prophets, have gone out into the world.

4:2  Hereby, do ye perceive the Spirit of God:—every spirit that confesseth Jesus Christ as having come, in flesh, is, of God;

4:3  And, every spirit that doth not confess Jesus, of God, is not. And, this, is the [spirit] of the Antichrist, touching which ye have heard that it cometh: even now, is it, in the world, already.

4:4  Ye, are, of God, dear children, and have overcome them; because, greater, is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

4:5  They, are, of the world: For this cause, of the world, they speak, and the world, unto them, doth hearken.

4:6  We, are, of God: he that is getting to understand God, hearkeneth unto us,—whoso is not of God, hearkeneth not unto us: from this, perceive we—the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

4:7  Beloved! let us be loving one another; because, love, is, of God, and, whosoever loveth, of God, hath been born, and is getting to understand God:

4:8  He that doth not love, doth not understand God, because, God, is, love.

4:9  Herein, hath the love of God in us, been made manifest, that, his only-begotten Son, God sent into the world, in order that we might live through him.

4:10  Herein, is love: not that, we, have loved God, but that, he, loved us, and sent forth his Son, as a propitiation concerning our sins.

4:11  Beloved! If, in this way, God, loved us, we also, ought to love, one another.

4:12  Upon God, hath no one, at any time, gazed: If we love one another, God, in us, abideth, and, his love, hath been perfected within us.

4:13  Hereby, perceive we—that, in him, are we abiding, and, he, in us,—in that, of his Spirit, hath he given unto us.

4:14  And, we, for ourselves have gazed, and are bearing witness—that, the Father, sent forth the Son, as Saviour of the world.

4:15  Whosoever shall confess, that, Jesus [Christ] is the Son of God, God, in him, abideth, and, he, in God.

4:16  And, we, have come to understand and to trust the love which, God, hath, in us. God, is, love; and, he that abideth in love, in God, abideth, and, God, in him [abideth].

4:17  Herein, hath love with us, been made perfect,—in order that, boldness, we might have in the day of judging,—in that, just as, He, is, we also, are, in this world.

4:18  Fear, existeth not, in love, but, perfect love, casteth fear, outside; because, fear, hath correction: he that feareth, hath not been made perfect, in love.

4:19  We, love, because, he, first loved us:—

4:20  If one should say, I love God, and should be hating, his brother, false, is he; for, he that doth not love his brother, whom he hath seen, God, whom he hath not seen, he cannot love!

4:21  And, this commandment, have we from him,—that, he who loveth God, love, his brother also.
