1 John 4:17-19
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
17 Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness on the day of judgment, because as he is, so are we in this world.(A) 18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear; for fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not reached perfection in love. 19 We love[a] because he first loved us.
