There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

that we, being rescued from the hand of our enemies, may serve him without fear,

For you did not receive the spirit of slavery leading again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, "Abba, Father."

For God did not give us a Spirit of fear but of power and love and self-control.

So since we are receiving an unshakable kingdom, let us give thanks, and through this let us offer worship pleasing to God in devotion and awe.

Terrifying sounds fill his ears; in a time of peace marauders attack him.

How desolate they become in a mere moment! Terrifying judgments make their demise complete!

I am oppressed and have been on the verge of death since my youth. I have been subjected to your horrors and am numb with pain.

My body trembles because I fear you; I am afraid of your judgments.

You believe that God is one; well and good. Even the demons believe that -- and tremble with fear.

No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God resides in us, and his love is perfected in us.
