1 John 3:23-4:3 His command is this—that we are to believe in his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he has commanded us to do.

Goodspeed⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ His command is this—that we are to believe in his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he has commanded us to do. ²⁴ All who obey his commands keep in union with him, and he does with them; and this is how we know that he keeps in union with us—by the Spirit which he has given us. ⁴ ¹ Dear friends, do not believe every inspired utterance, but test the utterances to see whether they come from God, for many false prophets have come out into the world. ² You can tell the Spirit of God in this way: all inspiration that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in human form comes from God, ³ and any inspired utterance that does not acknowledge Jesus does not come from God; it is the inspiration of the Antichrist. You have heard that it was coming, and here it is already in the world.
