1 JOHN - CHAPTER 4 - NKJV

1. Beloved, do not believe every spirit,
but test the spirits, whether they are of God;
because 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 has come in the flesh
is of God:

3. And every spirit that does not confess
that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh
is not of God:
And this is the spirit of the Antichrist,
which you have heard was coming,
and is now already in the world.

4. You are of God, little children,
and have overcome them,
because He who is in you is greater
than he who is in the world.

5. They are of the world.
Therefore speak as of the world,
and the world hears them.

6. We are of God.
He who knows God hears us;
he who is not of God does not hear us.
By this we know the spirit of truth
and the spirit of error.

7. Beloved, let us love one another,
for love is of God;
and everyone who loves
is born of God,
and knows God.

8. He who does not love
does not know God,
for God is love.

9. In this the love of God
was manifested toward us,
that God has sent his only begotten Son
into the world, that we might
live through him.

10. In this is love,
not that we loved God,
but that He loved us
and sent His Son to be
the propitiation for our sins.

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

12. No one has seen God at any time.
If we love one another,
God abides in us, and His love
has been perfected in us.

13. By this we know that we
abide in Him, and He in us,
because He has given us of His Spirit.

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

15. Whoever confesses
that Jesus is the Son of God,
God abides in him, and he in God.

16. And we have known and believed
the love that God has for us.
God is love, and he who abides in love
abides in God, and God in him.

17. Love has been perfected among us in this:
that we may have boldness
in the day of judgment;
because as He is,
so are we in this world.

18. There is no fear in love;
but perfect love casts out fear,
because fear involves torment.
But He who fears
has not made perfect in love.

19. We love him, because He first loved us.

20. If someone says, "I love God,"
and hates his brother, he is a liar;
for he who does not love his brother,
whom he has seen,
how can he love God
whom he has not seen?

21. And this commandment
we have from Him:
That he who loves God
must love his brother also.

1 Corinthians 13 - NKJV

1. Though I speak with the tongues
of men and of angels,
but have not love,
I am become as sounding brass
or a clanging cymbal.

2. And though I have the gift of prophecy,
and understand all mysteries,
and all knowledge,
and though I have all faith,
so that I could remove mountains,
and have not love, I am nothing.

*3. And though I bestow
all my goods to feed the poor,
and though I give my body to be burned,
but have not love, it profits me nothing.

4. Love suffers long and is kind;
loves does not envy;
love does not parade itself,
is not puffed up;

5. Does not behave rudely,
does not seek its own,
is not provoked,
thinks no evil;

6. Does not rejoice in iniquity,
but rejoices in the truth;

7. Bears all things,
believes all things,
hopes all things,
endures all things.

8. Love never fails:
but whether there are prophecies,
they will fail;
whether there are tongues,
they will cease;
whether there is knowledge,
it will vanish away.

9. For we know in part
and we prophesy in part.

10. But when that
which is perfect has come,
then that which is in part
will be done away.

11. When I was a child,
I spoke as a child,
I understood as a child,
I thought as a child:
but when I became a man,
I put away childish things.

12. For now we see
in a mirror, dimly;
but then face to face.
Now I know in part,
but then I shall know
just as I also am known.

13. And now abide
faith, hope, love, these three;
but the greatest of these is love.
