The document is a passage from 1 John discussing how to identify true prophets from false ones. It states that those who acknowledge Jesus Christ has come in the flesh are from God, while those who do not acknowledge Jesus are not from God and have the spirit of the antichrist. It notes that believers are from God and have overcome false prophets, and that believers listen to true prophets who know God, while non-believers do not listen to them.

2. 1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to
see whether they are from God, for many false prophets
have gone out into the world. 2 By this you know the Spirit
of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has
come in the flesh is from God, 3 and every spirit that does
not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the
antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the
world already. 4 Little children, you are from God and have
overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he
who is in the world. 5 They are from the world; therefore
they speak from the world, and the world listens to them.
6 We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us;
whoever is not from God does not listen to us. By this we
know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

7.  Verse 1-3 – Is Jesus God? The answer to that question
immediately places prophets in 1 of 2 categories. John
clearly believed Jesus was God. He writes about it in
John 1:1-3 and John 1:10-18.
 John 1:1-3; John 1:10-18
 Verse 4 – This verse should not be a source of fleshly
pride but instead a reason to worship.
 Verse 5 – We tend to award truth to those who look
the part. This is a big reason Jesus was not and will not
be accepted by some as the Messiah. He did not come
in an outfit; He came as a carpenter.
 John 1:45-51
 Matthew 13:53-58
 Verse 6 – During John’s time as well as ours, there
were many false teachers who were listened to
instead of the Apostles.
