1 John 4:18-21
18There is noG3756 fearG5401 in loveG26; but 1perfectG5046 loveG26 castsG906 out fearG5401, becauseG3754 fearG5401 2involvesG2192 punishmentG2851, and the one who fearsG5399 is not 3perfectedG5048 in loveG26.
194We loveG25, becauseG3754 He firstG4413 lovedG25 us.
205IfG1437 someoneG5100 saysG3004, “I loveG25 GodG2316,” and 6hatesG3404 his brotherG80, he is a 7liarG5583; for 8the one who does not loveG25 his brotherG80 whomG3739 he has seenG3708, 9cannotG1410G3756 loveG25 GodG2316 whomG3739 he has not seenG3708.
21And 10thisG3778 commandmentG1785 we haveG2192 from Him, that the one who lovesG25 GodG2316 11should loveG25 his brotherG80 alsoG2532.
