📚 About this Book
✦ Chapter Overview

In this chapter the apostle John writes to the believers, reminding them that true fellowship with God is possible only through Christ, and that love is the evidence of that fellowship. He explains that those who love one another are in God’s own body, and that those who claim to love but do not love God are not his children.

(1) Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
