1 John 4:6 Made Simple

KJV ORIGINAL

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.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

We belong to God, and here's how you can tell: people who really know God will listen to what we're saying. But those who don't know God? They won't hear us at all. That's actually how you can spot the difference between truth and lies.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Real recognizes real — people who know God will vibe with God's truth.
