The Inheritance of the Promises

⁹ But we are convinced about you, ^(A)beloved, of things that are better and that belong to salvation, though we are speaking in this way.

^2 (A)Beloved, now we are ^(B)children of God, and ^(C)it has not been manifested as yet what we will be. We know that when He ^(D)is manifested, we will be ^(E)like Him, because we will ^(F)see Him just as He is.

^21 (A)Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have ^(B)confidence ^[a]before God;

Test the Spirits

4 ^(A)Beloved, do not believe every ^(B)spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because ^(C)many false prophets have gone out into the world.

God Is Love

^7 (A)Beloved, let us ^(B)love one another, for love is from God; and ^(C)everyone who loves has been ^[a](D)born of God and ^(E)knows God.

^11 (A)Beloved, if God so loved us, ^(B)we also ought to love one another.
