NASB | 1 John 4:6 We are from God; he who knows God listens to us; he who is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 John 4:6 We [who teach God's word] are from God [energized by the Holy Spirit], and whoever knows God [through personal experience] listens to us [and has a deeper understanding of Him]. Whoever is not of God does not listen to us. By this we know [without any doubt] the spirit of truth [motivated by God] and the spirit of error [motivated by Satan]. |

Bible Note: "I know you, the first-born of Satan." --Polycarp (69-155 AD), pastor of the church in Smyrna (which city is today called Izmir, Turkey). These were his words to Marcion -- rightly discerning that the teachings of this heretic were not of God (Isaiah 8:20; 1 John 4:6; Romans 11:8). |
