Chap. IIII.
Vve may not beleeue al that boast of the spirit, but trie them, vvhether they teach Catholike
articles of the faith (namely the incarnation of Christ:) vvhether their doctrine
be not vvorldly, and them selues disobedient hearers of the Apostles. 7
Vee must loue one an other, considering the exceding loue of God in sending his
sonne to saue vs. 17 An argument of perfect charitie is, if vve haue nothing in
our conscience to feare in the day of Iudgement. 19 And an argument that vve
loue God is, if vve loue our brethren.
1 My deerest,09Q1481 beleeue not euery spirit, but
09Q1482 proue the spirites if they be of God:
because many false prophetes are gone
out into the vvorld
2 In this is the spirit
of God knovven.09Q1483 euery spirit that
confesseth Iesvs Christ to haue come
in flesh, is of God:
3 and euery spirit
09Q1484 that dissolueth Iesvs, is not of God: and this is note antichrist,
of vvhom you haue heard that he commeth, and novv he is
-- --
in the vvorld.
4 You are of God, litle children, and haue
ouercome him. because greater is he that is in you, then he
that is in the vvorld.
5 They are of the vvorld: therfore of
the vvorld they speake, and the vvorld heareth them.
6 Vve
are of God. note noteHe that knovveth God, heareth vs. he that is
not of God, heareth vs not.09Q1485 in this vve knovv the spirit of
truth, and the spirit of errour.
7 My deerest, let vs loue one an other: because charitie is of
God. And euery one that loueth, is borne of God, & knovveth
God.
8 He that loueth not, knovveth not God: because
God is charitie.
9 noteIn this hath the charitie of God appeared
in vs, because God hath sent his only-begotten sonne into the
vvorld, that vve may liue by him.
10 In this is charitie: not
as though vve haue loued him, but because he hath loued
vs, and sent his sonne a propitiation for our sinnes.
11 My deerest, if God hath so loued vs: vve also ought to
loue one an other.
12 noteGod note no man hath seen at any time.
If vve loue one an other, God abideth in vs, and his charitie
in vs is perfited.
13 In this vve knovv that vve abide in him,
and he in vs: because he of his Spirit hath giuen to vs.
14 And
vve haue seen, and doe testifie, that the Father hath sent his
Sonne the Sauiour of the vvorld.
15 Vvhosoeuer shal confesse
that Iesvs is the Sonne of God, God abideth in him,
and he in God.
16 And vve haue knovven and haue beleeued
the charitie, vvhich God hath in vs. God is charitie: and he
that abideth in charitie, abideth in God, and God in him.
17 In
this is charitie perfited vvith vs,09Q1486 that vve may haue confidence
in the day of iudgement: because as he is, vve also are
in the vvorld.
18 09Q1487Feare is not in charitie: but perfect charitie
casteth out feare, because feare hath painefulnes. and he that
feareth, is not perfect in charitie.
19 Let vs therfore loue God,
because God first hath loued vs.
20 If any man shal say, that
I loue God: and hateth his brother, he is a lier. For he that
loueth not his brother vvhom he seeth: God vvhom he seeth
not, hovv can he loue?
21 noteAnd this commaundement vve
haue from God: that he vvhich loueth God, loue also his
brother. &cross4;
