1 John 4:4
You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world.
In this verse, St.John is reassuring his readers that they are of God and have the power to overcome the challenges they face. The "them" in the verse likely refers to false prophets and deceivers who were spreading lies and trying to lead believers astray.
St.John explains that the reason the believers can overcome these challenges is that "he who is in you" (referring to God's presence within the believer through the Holy Spirit) is greater than "he who is in the world" (referring to the power of sin and evil in the world).
In other words, St.John is reminding his readers that they have access to God's strength and power through their relationship with Him, which is greater than any obstacle they might face in the world. This truth should bring comfort and confidence to believers as they navigate difficult situations and temptations
