1 John 4:6

Sannhet og ærlighet

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

⁵ They are of the world. That is why they speak from the world’s perspective, and the world listens to them.

We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God does not listen to us. That is how we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of deception.

⁷ Beloved, let us love one another, because love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.

⁸ Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
