1 My loved ones, do not put your faith in every spirit, but put them to the test, to see if they are from God: because a great number of false prophets have gone out into the world.

1 E nga hoa aroha, kaua e whakapono atu ki nga wairua katoa, engari me whakamatau nga wairua no te Atua ranei; he tokomaha hoki nga poropiti teka kua haere mai ki te ao.
