“ But you may wonder,‘ How will we know whether or not a prophecy is from the Lord?’

你心里若说：‘耶和华所未曾吩咐的话，我们怎能知道呢？’

你心里若说：‘我们怎能知道那话是耶和华未曾吩咐的呢？’

你心里若说：‘我们怎能知道那话是耶和华未曾吩咐的呢？’

你们也许心里会问，‘我们如何知道是否是耶和华说的话呢？’

如果你心里说：‘耶和华没有说过的话，我们怎能知道呢？’

你心裏若說：『耶和華所未曾吩咐的話，我們怎能知道呢？』

你心裏若說：『我們怎能知道那話是耶和華未曾吩咐的呢？』

你心裏若說：『我們怎能知道那話是耶和華未曾吩咐的呢？』

你們也許心裡會問，『我們如何知道是否是耶和華說的話呢？』

如果你心裡說：‘耶和華沒有說過的話，我們怎能知道呢？’

但你若心裏說：「我們怎能知道甚麼是永恆主所沒有說過的話呢？」

如爾意謂、耶和華所未諭之言、何以知之、

如爾意謂耶和華所未嘗諭者、曷能知之。

如爾意謂、先知所傳非主所諭者、我何以知之、或作如爾意謂先知所傳之言我儕何以知之為主所諭否

You may say to yourselves,“ How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the Lord?”

You will say to yourselves,“ How can we know when a message hasn’t been spoken by the Lord?”

And if you say in your heart,‘ How may we know the word that the Lord has not spoken?’—

You may say to yourself,‘ How can we recognize a message the LORD has not spoken?’

And if you say in your heart,‘ How will we recognize the word which the Lord has not spoken?’

And if you say in your heart,‘ How shall we know the word which the Lord has not spoken?’—

And if thou say in thy heart, How shall we know the word which Jehovah hath not spoken?

You may say to yourself,‘ How can we recognize a message the Lord has not spoken?’

And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken?

Now if you say to yourselves,‘ How can we tell that a message is not from the LORD?’–

You may say in your heart,“ How shall we know the word which Yahweh has not spoken?”

Dear friends, do not believe everyone who claims to speak by the Spirit. You must test them to see if the spirit they have comes from God. For there are many false prophets in the world.This is how we know if they have the Spirit of God: If a person claiming to be a prophet acknowledges that Jesus Christ came in a real body, that person has the Spirit of God.But if someone claims to be a prophet and does not acknowledge the truth about Jesus, that person is not from God. Such a person has the spirit of the Antichrist, which you heard is coming into the world and indeed is already here.

“ I know all the things you do. I have seen your hard work and your patient endurance. I know you don’t tolerate evil people. You have examined the claims of those who say they are apostles but are not. You have discovered they are liars.

God will make this happen, for he who calls you is faithful.
