1 John 4:4 Updated American Standard Version (UASV) 4 You are from God, little children, and have conquered them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

Another way to test “the spirit of truth and the spirit of error” is to see who listens to them. As servants of God, we have “conquered,” or overpowered through God, the false teachers, prevailing over their endeavors to draw us away from the truth found in the Word of God.
