1 John 4:17-21
1 John 4:17
By this, love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment; because as He is, we also are in this world.
1 John 4:18
There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love.
1 John 4:19
We love, because He first loved us.
1 John 4:20
If someone says, “I love God,” and yet he hates his brother or sister, he is a liar; for the one who does not love his brother and sister whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.
1 John 4:21
And this commandment we have from Him, that the one who loves God must also love his brother and sister.
