Riverside⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ BELOVED, do not trust every spirit, but test the spirits whether they are from God. For many false prophets have come out into the world. ² By this we know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, ³ and no spirit that does not confess Jesus is from God. This is the spirit of Antichrist, which you have heard is coming into the world and is already in the world.
