你们想经上所说的是徒然的吗。神所赐住在我们里面的灵,是恋爱至于嫉妒吗。
Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?
务要在主面前自卑,主就比叫你们升高。
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
现今你们竟以张狂跨口。凡这样跨口都是恶的。
But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.
万物的结局近了。所以你们要谨慎自守,儆醒祷告。
But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.
亲爱的弟兄阿,一切的灵,你们不可都信。总要试验那些灵是出于神的不是。因为世上有许多假先知已经出来了。
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
凡灵认耶稣基督是成了肉身来的,就是出于神的。从此你们可以认出神的灵来。
Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
凡灵不认耶稣,就不是出于神。这是敌基督者的灵。你们从前听见他要来。现在已经在世上了。
And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
小子们哪,你们是属神的,并且胜了他们。因为那在你们里面的,比那在世界上的更大。
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
我们是属神的。认识神的就听从我们。不属神的就不听从我们。从此我们可以认出真理的灵,和谬妄的灵来。
We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
亲爱的弟兄阿,我们应当彼此相爱。因为爱是从神来的。凡有爱心的,都是由神而生,并且认识神。
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
