1 John 4:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh, is not of God: but this is the spirit of Antichrist, of whom ye have heard, how that he should come, and now already he is in this world.
4 [a]Little children, ye are of God, and have overcome them: for greater is he that is in you, than he that is in this world.
5 [b]They are of this world, therefore spake they of this world, and this world heareth them.

- 1 John 4:4 He comforteth the elect with a most sure hope of victory: but yet so, that he teacheth them that they fight not with their own virtue, but with the virtue and power of God.
- 1 John 4:5 He bringeth a reason: why the world receiveth these teachers more willingly than the true: to wit, because they breathe out nothing but that which is worldly: which is another note also to know the doctrine of Antichrist by.
