1 John 4:5
1 John 4:5 King James Version (KJV)
They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.
1 John 4:4-6 The Message (MSG)
My dear children, you come from God and belong to God. You have already won a big victory over those false teachers, for the Spirit in you is far stronger than anything in the world. These people belong to the Christ-denying world. They talk the world’s language and the world eats it up. But we come from God and belong to God. Anyone who knows God understands us and listens. The person who has nothing to do with God will, of course, not listen to us. This is another test for telling the Spirit of Truth from the spirit of deception.
1 John 4:5 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)

1 John 4:5 New Century Version (NCV)
And they belong to the world, so what they say is from the world, and the world listens to them.
1 John 4:5 American Standard Version (ASV)
They are of the world: therefore speak they as of the world, and the world heareth them.
1 John 4:5 New International Version (Anglicised) (NIVUK)

1 John 4:5 New King James Version (NKJV)
They are of the world. Therefore they speak as of the world, and the world hears them.
1 John 4:5 Amplified Bible (AMP)
They [who teach twisted doctrine] are of the world and belong to it; therefore they speak from the [viewpoint of the] world [with its immoral freedom and baseless theories—demanding compliance with their opinions and ridiculing the values of the upright], and the [gullible people of the] world listen closely and pay attention to them.
1 John 4:5 New Living Translation (NLT)
Those people belong to this world, so they speak from the world’s viewpoint, and the world listens to them.
