'From God' in the Bible
Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits [to determine] if they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,
and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God, and this is the [spirit] of the antichrist, [of] which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world.
You are from God, little children, and have conquered them, because the one [who is] in you is greater than the one [who is] in the world.
We are from God. The one who knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of deceit.
Dear friends, let us love one another, because love is from God, and everyone who loves has been fathered by God and knows God.
We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in [the power of] the evil one.
