1 John 4:1-3 Beloved, believe not every spirit; but prove the spirits, whether they are from God: for many false prophets have gone out into the world.

Anderson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Beloved, believe not every spirit; but prove the spirits, whether they are from God: for many false prophets have gone out into the world. ² By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ came in the flesh, is from God: ³ and whatever spirit confesses not that Jesus Christ came in the flesh, is not from God: and this is the spirit of antichrist, of which you have heard that it comes, and is now already in the world.
