"Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse
to know me, saith the LORD. Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts,
Behold, I will melt them, and try them; for how shall I do for the
daughter of my people? Their tongue is as an arrow shot out; it
speaketh deceit: one speaketh peaceably to his neighbour with his
mouth, but in heart he layeth his wait. Shall I not visit them for
these things? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a
nation as this?" <> Jeremiah 9:6-9
"Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath wrought
this? In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath
of all mankind. Doth not the ear try words? and the mouth taste his
meat? With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding.
With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding."
<> Job 12:9-13
"My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let
patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire,
wanting nothing. If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that
giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given
him. But let him ask in faith nothing wavering. For he that wavereth
is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let
not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A
double minded man is unstable in all his ways." <> James 1:2-8

"Dear friends, don't believe everyone who claims to have the Spirit
of God. Test them all to find out if they really do come from God.
Many false prophets have already gone out into the world, and you can
know which ones come from God. His Spirit says that Jesus Christ had
a truly human body. But when someone doesn't say this about Jesus,
you know that person has a spirit that doesn't come from God and is
the enemy of Christ. You knew that this enemy was coming into the
world and now is already here. Children, you belong to God, and you
have defeated these enemies. God's Spirit is in you and is more
powerful than the one that is in the world. These enemies belong to
this world, and the world listens to them, because they speak its
language. We belong to God, and everyone who knows God will listen
to us. But the people who don't know God won't listen to us. That is
how we can tell the Spirit that speaks the truth from the one that
tells lies." CEV
"Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they
are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
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, whereof ye have heard that it
should come; and even now already is it in the world. Ye are of God,
little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is
in you, than he that is in the world. They are of the world: therefore
speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. We are of God: he
that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us.
Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error." KJV
"Dearly loved friends, don't always believe everything you hear just
because someone says it is a message from God: test it first to see
if it really is. For there are many false teachers around, and the
way to find out if their message is from the Holy Spirit is to ask:
Does it really agree that Jesus Christ, God's Son, actually became
man with a human body? If so, then the message is from God. If not,
the message is not from God but from one who is against Christ, like
the "Antichrist" you have heard about who is going to come, and his
attitude of enmity against Christ is already abroad in the world.
Dear young friends, you belong to God and have already won your fight
with those who are against Christ because there is someone in your
hearts who is stronger than any evil teacher in this wicked world.
These men belong to this world, so, quite naturally, they are
concerned about worldly affairs and the world pays attention to them.
But we are children of God; that is why only those who have walked
and talked with God will listen to us. Others won't. That is another
way to know whether a message is really from God; for if it is, the
world won't listen to it." LBV
"Beloved, do not trust every spirit but test the spirits to see whether
they belong to God, because many false prophets have gone out into the
world. This is how you can know the Spirit of God: every spirit that
acknowledges Jesus Christ come in the flesh be longs to God, and every
spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus does not belong to God. This is
the spirit of the antichrist that, as you heard, is to come, but in
fact is already in the world. You belong to God, children, and you
have conquered them, for the one who is in you is greater than the one
who is in the world. They belong to the world; accordingly, their
teaching belongs to the world, and the world listens to them. We
belong to God, and anyone who knows God listens to us, while anyone
who does not belong to God refuses to hear us. This is how we know
the spirit of truth and the spirit of deceit." NAB
"My dear friends, many false prophets have gone out into the world.
So do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see if they
are from God. This is how you can know God's Spirit: Every spirit
who confesses that Jesus Christ came to earth as a human is from God.
And every spirit who refuses to say this about Jesus is not from God.
It is the spirit of the enemy of Christ, which you have heard is
coming, and now he is already in the world. My dear children, you
belong to God and have defeated them; because God's Spirit, who is in
you, is greater than the devil, who is in the world. And they belong
to the world, so what they say is from the world, and the world
listens to them. But we belong to God, and those who know God listen
to us. But those who are not from God do not listen to us. That is
how we know the Spirit that is true and the spirit that is false." NCV
"Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to
see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone
out into the world. This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God:
Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh
is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not
from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard
is coming and even now is already in the world. You, dear children,
are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is
greater than the one who is in the world. They are from the world and
therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens
to them. We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us, but
whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we
recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood." NIV
"Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether
they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the
world. By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that
confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every
spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh
is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you
have heard was coming, and is now already in the world. You are of
God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you
is greater than he who is in the world. They are of the world.
Therefore they speak as of the world, and the world hears them. We are
of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear
us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error." NKJV
"Dear friends, do not believe everyone who claims to speak by the
Spirit. You must test them to see if the spirit they have comes from
God. For there are many false prophets in the world. This is the way
to find out if they have the Spirit of God: If a prophet acknowledges
that Jesus Christ became a human being, that person has the Spirit of
God. If a prophet does not acknowledge Jesus, that person is not from
God. Such a person has the spirit of the Antichrist. You have heard
that he is going to come into the world, and he is already here. But
you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won your fight
with these false prophets, because the Spirit who lives in you is
greater than the spirit who lives in the world. These people belong
to this world, so they speak from the world's viewpoint, and the world
listens to them. But we belong to God; that is why those who know God
listen to us. If they do not belong to God, they do not listen to us.
That is how we know if someone has the Spirit of truth or the spirit
of deception." NLTV
"Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see

from God, and have conquered them; for the one who is in you is greater
than the one who is in the world. They are from the world; therefore
what they say is from the world, and the world listens to them. We
are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us, and whoever is not from
God does not listen to us. From this we know the spirit of truth and
the spirit of error." NRSV

"Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord
commandeth it not? Out of the mouth of the most High proceedeth not
evil and good? Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the
punishment of his sins? Let us search and try our ways, and turn
again to the Lord. Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God
in the heavens. We have transgressed and have rebelled: thou hast
not pardoned." <> Lamentations 3:37-42
"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools
despise wisdom and instruction. My son, hear the instruction of thy
father, and forsake not the law of thy mother: For they shall be an

if sinners entice thee, consent thou not." <> Proverbs 1:8-9
"Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and
extolled, and be very high. As many were astonied at thee; his
visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the
sons of men: So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut
their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they
see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider."

"The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the
truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth;
For the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for
ever. Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and
from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as
we have received a commandment from the Father. And now I beseech
thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but
that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another. And
this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the
commandment,
That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk
in it. For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not
that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an
antichrist. Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which
we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. Whosoever
transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not
God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the
Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring not this
doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with paper
and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that
our joy may be full. The children of thy elect sister greet thee.
Amen." <> II John
"The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew
unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent
and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: Who bare record
of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all
things that he saw. Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear
the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written
therein: for the time is at hand. John to the seven churches which
are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and
which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are
before his throne; And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful
witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the
kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our
sins in his own blood, And hath made us kings and priests unto God
and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen."
