1 John 4:1 is a Bible verse where the apostle John warns believers not to trust every spiritual claim but to "test the spirits" to see if they are truly from God, because many false prophets have appeared in the world. This verse is part of a passage that encourages discernment, particularly by examining whether a teaching acknowledges Jesus Christ's coming in the flesh, which is a hallmark of God-given spirits.
