1 John

1 John 4:3–4

³and every spirit that does not confess Jesus^a is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and which is already in the world at this time.

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