The passage divides into two major movements: verses 1\u20136 urge believers to \"test the spirits\" to distinguish true from false prophecy, with the doctrinal test being whether a spirit confesses that Jesus Christ came in the flesh \u2014 those who deny this are identified with the spirit of antichrist. Verses 7\u201321 develop the epistle's central theological claim that \"God is love\" (\u1f41 \u03b8\u03b5\u1f78\u03c2 \u1f00\u03b3\u03ac\u03c0\u03b7 \u1f10\u03c3\u03c4\u03af\u03bd / *Deus caritas est*), arguing that mutual love among believers is both evidence of divine indwelling and an obligation grounded in God's prior act of sending his Son as propitiation for sin. A distinctive and forceful claim closes the passage: anyone who claims to love God while hating a fellow believer is called a liar, since love of the visible neighbor is the necessary condition for love of the invisible God. The KJV column's inline Strong's numbers make this resource primarily useful for word-level Greek-English-Latin comparison and concordance study rather than devotional reading.","tags":["Book of Acts","Greek New Testament","Polyglot Bible"],"text":null,"title":"Polyglot Bible: 1 John: 1 John 4","tradition":"Hypertext Bible","translated_text":null,"word_count":1391}
