1 John 4:5
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
They are of the world. That is why they speak from the world’s perspective, and the world listens to them.
In context
3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and which is already in the world at this time.
4 You, little children, are from God and have overcome them, because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.
5 They are of the world. That is why they speak from the world’s perspective, and the world listens to them.
6 We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God does not listen to us. That is how we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of deception.
7 Beloved, let us love one another, because love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.
