1 John 4:16-21
16AndG2532 weG1473 have come to knowG1097 andG2532 believeG4100 theG3588 loveG26 thatG3739 GodG2316 hasG2192 forG1722 usG1473. GodG2316 isG1510 loveG26; whoeverG3588 abidesG3306 inG1722 loveG26 abidesG3306 inG1722 GodG2316, andG2532 GodG2316 inG1722 himG846. 17InG1722 thisG3778 way, loveG26 has been perfectedG5048 amongG3326 usG1473, so thatG2443 we may haveG2192 confidenceG3954 onG1722 theG3588 dayG2250 of judgmentG2920; forG3754 inG1722 thisG3778 worldG2889 weG1473 areG1510 just likeG2531 HimG1565G1510.
18There isG1510 noG3756 fearG5401 inG1722 loveG26, butG235 perfectG5046 loveG26 drivesG906 outG1854 fearG5401, becauseG3754 fearG5401 involvesG2192 punishmentG2851. TheG3588 one who fearsG5399 has not been perfectedG3756G5048 inG1722 loveG26. 19WeG1473 loveG251 becauseG3754 HeG846 firstG4413 lovedG25 usG1473.
20IfG1437 anyoneG5100 saysG2036, “I loveG25 GodG2316,” but hatesG3404 hisG846 brotherG80, he isG1510 a liarG5583. ForG1063 anyone whoG3588 does not loveG3361G25 hisG846 brotherG80, whomG3739 he has seenG3708, cannotG3756G1410 loveG25 GodG2316, whomG3739 he has not seenG3756G3708. 21AndG2532 we haveG2192 thisG3778 commandmentG1785 fromG575 HimG846: WhoeverG3588 lovesG25 GodG2316 must loveG25 hisG846 brotherG80 as wellG2532.
