Why does the spelling look unusual?

¹ Beloued, beleeue not euery spirit, but trie the spirits, whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

² Hereby know ye the spirit of God: euery spirit that confesseth that Iesus Christ is come in the flesh, is of God.

³ And euery Spirit that confesseth not that Iesus Christ is come in the flesh, is not of God: and this is that spirit of Antichrist, whereof you haue heard, that it should come, and euen now already is it in the world.

⁴ Ye are of God, little children, and haue ouercome them: because greater is he that is in you, then he that is in the world.

⁵ They are of the world: therefore speake they of the world, and the world heareth them.

⁶ We are of God: hee that knoweth God, heareth vs: he that is not of God heareth not vs, hereby know wee the spirit of trueth, and the spirit of errour.

⁷ Beloued, let vs loue one another; for loue is of God: and euery one that loueth, is borne of God and knoweth God.

⁸ Hee that loueth not, knoweth not God: for God is loue.

⁹ In this was manifested the loue of God towards vs, because that God sent his only begotten Sonne into the world, that we might liue through him.

¹⁰ Herein is loue, not that wee loued God, but that he loued vs, and sent his Sonne to be þ^e propitiation for our sins.

¹¹ Beloued, if God so loued vs, wee ought also to loue one another.

¹² No man hath seene God at any time. If wee loue one another, God dwelleth in vs, and his loue is perfected in vs.

¹³ Hereby know wee that we dwell in him and he in vs, because hee hath giuen vs of his Spirit.

¹⁴ And we haue seene, and doe testifie, that the Father sent the Sonne to be the Sauiour of the world.

¹⁵ Whosoeuer shall confesse that Iesus is the Sonne of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.

¹⁶ And we haue knowen and beleeued the loue that God hath to vs. God is loue, and hee that dwelleth in loue, dwelleth in God, and God in him.

¹⁷ Herein is our loue made perfect, that wee may haue boldnesse in the day of Iudgement, because as hee is, so are we in this world.

¹⁸ There is no feare in loue, but perfect loue casteth out feare: because feare hath torment: hee that feareth, is not made perfect in loue.

¹⁹ We loue him: because hee first loued vs.

²⁰ If a man say, I loue God, and hateth his brother, he is a lyar. For hee that loueth not his brother whom hee hath seene, how can he loue God whom he hath not seene?

²¹ And this commandement haue we from him, that he who loueth God, loue his brother also.

Whose perfect love is the scripture talking about? Ours or The Heavenly Father's?

JUANITA GORDON's 1 John Chapter 4 comment about verse 4 on 5/16/2013, 6:58pm...

IN THIS TIME OF LIFE WE NEED TO KNOW THAT GOD LIVES IN US AND THAT HE IS GREATER THAN ANYTHING THAT WILL COME AGAINT US THAT;S WHY I LOVE THAT VERSE.

Bongiwe Ntaka's 1 John Chapter 4 comment on 4/19/2013, 7:22am...

We are overcomers through the love of God. Once you have accepted Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, the old is gone and the new has come, and God ("...greater is He..) lives inside of us, and He is greater that th earthly things..Amen...

Willard bryant's 1 John Chapter 4 comment about verse 4 on 3/12/2013, 10:24am...

That is the truth.

Komolafe jeremiah's 1 John Chapter 4 comment about verse 18 on 3/01/2013, 8:50am...

There is no fear in love. Perfect love casts out fear. This is because fear punishes and defrauds us but love rewards us with blessings. There is no reason to fear in demonstrating perfect love because he that loves abides in God and has God's backing/defense. Demonstrating perfect love (i.e. loving one another) is an act of obedience to God's commandment and whoever obeys or hearkens to God's voice shall dwell in safety, no evil shall befall him.

Linda's 1 John Chapter 4 comment about verse 4 on 1/28/2013, 1:27pm...

My preacher, even though I’m hundreds of miles from him, brought me to tears with this verse, as it hits home hard. So amazing that a Facebook message with this verse helped me so much.

Timothy Wayne George's 1 John Chapter 4 comment about verse 20 on 1/01/2013, 12:35pm...

How can we say we love God, whom we have not seen, and hate our brother whom we see? We lie, and do not the truth. Beloved, love one another, for God is love, and who ever loves his brother is born of God. When we see our brother in need, and say be warm, be filled, without giving him those things that he needs, how say ye that the love of God abides in you? Beloved, let us not love in word, but in deed, and therefore your heart will not condemn you when you stand before judgment. Jesus has commanded a new commandment give I unto thee, that you love one another as I have loved you.

Kenny kgatla's 1 John Chapter 4 comment on 11/11/2012, 10:35am...

2 Hereby know ye the spirit of God, EVERY SPIRIT THAT CONFESSETH THAT JESUS CHRIST IS COME IN THE FLESH IS OF GOD: 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, - THIS VERSE IS LOUDER AND CLEAR. NO INTERPRETATION IS NEEDED HERE. SO WHO IS THE SPIRIT THAT IS IN THOSE UNDER SATANISM AND ANCESTRAL WORSHIP? ISN’T IT THE SPIRIT OF DEVIL THE ANTICHRIST? 4 YE ARE OF GOD,...GREATER IS HE THAT IS IN YOU THAN HE THAT IS IN THE WORLD. -THANK ALMIGHTY GOD FOR HIS SON JESUS WHO GIVES US COMPLETE VICTORY OVER THIS PAGAN RELIGIONS.
