1 John 4:3

* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.

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.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
and every spirit who doesn’t confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God, and this is the spirit of the Antichrist, of whom you have heard that it comes. Now it is in the world already.
World English Bible (WEB)
And{G2532} every{G3956} spirit{G4151} that{G3739} confesseth{G3670}{(G5719)} not{G3361} that Jesus{G2424} Christ{G5547} is come{G2064}{(G5756)} in{G1722} the flesh{G4561} is{G2076}{(G5748)} not{G3756} of{G1537} God{G2316}: and{G2532} this{G5124} is{G2076}{(G5748)} that spirit of antichrist{G500}, whereof{G3739} ye have heard{G191}{(G5754)} that{G3754} it should come{G2064}{(G5736)}; and even{G2532} now{G3568} already{G2235} is it{G2076}{(G5748)} in{G1722} the world{G2889}.
Strong's King James
And every spirit (ruach) that does not acknowledge Yeshua is not from the Elohim. This is the Opposer of HaMashiach (Antichrist), which you have heard is coming and is already in the world now.
The F.O.G*
[3] But any spirit that refuses to acknowledge this truth about Jesus isn't from God at all. This is the spirit of the antimessiah, which you've heard is coming and is already at work in the world, spreading confusion and deception.And every spirit that does not confess Jesus does not belong to Yahweh. This is the spirit of the Anti-Messiah who opposes Jesus, which you have heard is coming. In fact, it is already active in the world now.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
and every spirit that doth not confess Jesus Christ in the flesh having come, of God it is not; and this is that of the antichrist, which ye heard that it doth come, and now in the world it is already.
