Little Children: Know that there are many antichrists and test the spirit

Know that there are many antichrists and test the spirit

Part 2

1 John 2:15-18

¹⁵ Love not the world (kosmos: the arrangement), neither the things that are in the world (kosmos: the arrangement). If any man love the world (kosmos: the arrangement), the love of the Father is not in him.

¹⁶ For all that is in the world (kosmos: the arrangement), the lust (sinful desire) of the flesh (carnal nature), and the lust (sinful desire) of the eyes, and the pride (the character of a false pretender, imposter, braggart, boastful, pride, arrogant) of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world (kosmos: the arrangement).

¹⁷ And the world (kosmos: the arrangement) passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. 

¹⁸ Little children, it is the last time (hour): and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time (hour).

2 John 1:7

⁷ For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come (coming) in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an (the) antichrist.

Try the spirits

4 Beloved, believe not every spirit (angel or spiritual beings), but try (test, prove) the spirits whether (if) they are of (out from the origin) God: because many false prophets (one falsely professing to come as a messenger, with a message from God) are gone out into the world (kosmos: the arrangement).

² Hereby know (gnosko: experiential learning) ye the Spirit (holy Spirit) of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come (to have come) in (resting within) the flesh is of God:

³ And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world (kosmos: the arrangement).

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

Part 2

4 Beloved, believe not every spirit (angel or spiritual beings), but try (test, prove) the spirits whether (if) they are of (out from the origin) God: because many false prophets (one falsely professing to come as a messenger, with a message from God) are gone out into the world (kosmos: the arrangement).

² Hereby know (gnosko: experiential learning) ye the Spirit (holy Spirit) of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come (to have come) in (resting within) the flesh is of God:

³ And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world (kosmos: the arrangement).

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

⁵ They are of the world: therefore (on account of this) speak they of the world (kosmos: the arrangement), and the world (kosmos: the arrangement) heareth them.

⁶ We are of (out from the origin) God: he that knoweth (gnosko: experiential learning) God heareth us; he that is not of (out from the origin) God heareth not us. Hereby (from this) know (gnosko: experiential learning) we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error (seduction from truth).

⁷ Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born (sired) of God, and knoweth (experiential knowledge) God.

⁸ He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

⁹ In this was manifested (brought to light) the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

¹⁰ Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation (covering of sin by means of sacrifice) for our sins.

¹¹ Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

¹² No man (man) hath seen (beheld) God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected (made perfect) in us.

¹³ Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in (resting) us, because he hath given us of his Spirit (the spiritual gifts).

¹⁴ And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.

¹⁵ Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
