1 John 4:17-21

17By thisG3778, 1loveG26 is perfectedG5048 with us, so that we may haveG2192 2confidenceG3954 in 3the dayG2250 of judgmentG2920; becauseG3754 4as He is, so alsoG2532 are we in thisG3778 worldG2889.

18There is noG3756 fearG5401 in loveG26; but 5perfectG5046 loveG26 castsG906 out fearG5401, becauseG3754 fearG5401 6involvesG2192 punishmentG2851, and the one who fearsG5399 is not 7perfectedG5048 in loveG26.

198We loveG25, becauseG3754 He firstG4413 lovedG25 us.

209IfG1437 someoneG5100 saysG3004, “I loveG25 GodG2316,” and 10hatesG3404 his brotherG80, he is a 11liarG5583; for 12the one who does not loveG25 his brotherG80 whomG3739 he has seenG3708, 13cannotG1410G3756 loveG25 GodG2316 whomG3739 he has not seenG3708.

21And 14thisG3778 commandmentG1785 we haveG2192 from Him, that the one who lovesG25 GodG2316 15should loveG25 his brotherG80 alsoG2532.
