1 John 4:17

God's Love Revealed

¹⁶ We know and believe the love that God has for us. God is love! He who continues with love lives with God and God lives with him. ¹⁷ By this, love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment; because as He is, so also are we in this world. ¹⁸ There is no fear in love. Perfect (mature) love throws out (expels) fear because fear involves restraint (punishment). He who fears is not made perfect (mature) (complete) through love.
