1 John 4:18-21

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.
