1 John 4:18-21
18There is no fear in love, but 1perfect love drives out fear, because fear 2involves punishment, and the one who fears is not 3perfected in love.
194We love, because He first loved us.
205If someone says, “I love God,” and yet he 6hates his brother or sister, he is a 7liar; for 8the one who does not love his brother and sister whom he has seen, 9cannot love God, whom he has not seen.
21And 10this commandment we have from Him, that the one who loves God 11must also love his brother and sister.
