1 John 4:3-5
Evangelical Heritage Version
3 and every spirit who does not confess Jesus[a] is not from God. This is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard is coming and is already in the world. 4 You are from God, dear children, and you have overcome the false prophets,[b] because the one in you is greater than the one in the world. 5 They are from the world. That is why they speak from a worldly perspective and the world listens to them.

4 You, dear children,(C) are from God and have overcome them,(D) because the one who is in you(E) is greater than the one who is in the world.(F) 5 They are from the world(G) and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them.
