1st Yahukanun (1 John) — 4
Discerning False Nabyms
1 Dear brethren, do not believe everyone who claims to speak by the Ruach. You must test them to see if the Ruach they have comes from 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH. For there are many false Nabyms in the world.
2 This is how we know if they have the RUACH of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH: If a person claiming to be a Nabym acknowledges that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA Ha'Mashyach came in a real body, that person has the RUACH of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH.
3 But if someone claims to be a Nabym and does not acknowledge the truth about 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA, that person is not from 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH. Such a person has the spirit of the Anti-Mashyach, which you heard is coming into the world and indeed is already here.
4 But you belong to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, my dear children. You have already won a victory over those people, because the RUACH who lives in you is greater than the ruach who lives in the world.
5 Those people belong to this world, so they speak from the world’s viewpoint, and the world listens to them.
6 But we belong to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, and those who know 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH listen to us. If they do not belong to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, they will not listen to us. That is how we know if someone has the RUACH of truth or the ruach of deception.
Loving One Another
7 Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH. Anyone who loves is a child of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH and he knows 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH.
8 But anyone who does not love does not know 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, for HE is love.
9 For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH showed how much HE loved us by sending HIS one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through Him.
10 This is real love, not that we loved 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, but it is 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH who loved us and sent HIS Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.
11 Dear brethren, since 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other.
12 No one has ever seen 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH. But if we love each other, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH lives in us, and HIS love is brought to full expression in us.
13 And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH has given us HIS RUACH as proof that we live in HIM and 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH in us.
14 Furthermore, we have seen with our own eyes and now testify that ABBA 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH sent HIS Son to be the Savior of the world.
15 All who declare that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA is the Son of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH have 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH living in them, and they live in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH.
16 We know how much 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH loves us, and we have put our trust in the love of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH. For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH is love, and all who live in love live in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, and 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH lives in them.
17 And as we live in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH with confidence because we live like 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA here in this world.
18 Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH‘s perfect love.
19 We love each other because 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH loved us first.
20 If someone says, “I love 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH,” but hates a fellow believer, that person is a liar; for if we do not love people we can see, how can we love 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, whom we cannot see?
21 And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH has given us this command: that Those who love 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH must also love their fellow believers.
