1 John 4:17-21

17 By this ^ais love perfected with us, so that ^bwe may have confidence for the day of judgment, because ^cas he is so also are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love, but ^dperfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not ^ebeen perfected in love. 19 ^fWe love because he first loved us. 20 ^gIf anyone says, “I love God,” and ^hhates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot ^{▼▼Some manuscripts how can he} love God ^jwhom he has not seen. 21 And ^kthis commandment we have from him: ^lwhoever loves God must also love his brother.
