1 John 4:18-21

18There is no fear in love; instead, perfect love drives out fear, because fear involves punishment. So the one who fears is not complete in love.

19We love because he first loved us.

20If anyone says, “I love God,” and yet hates his brother or sister, he is a liar. For the person who does not love his brother or sister whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen.

21And we have this command from him: The one who loves God must also love his brother and sister.
