1 JOHN 4:3 — KING JAMES VERSION 1 1

“And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.”

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 already in the world — non-confession identifies the antichrist spirit. The antichrist is not merely future but present (nyn en tō kosmō), already active through deceptive teachings. Denial of Jesus characterizes all opposition to God.
