1 John 4:16-18
161We have comeG1097 to knowG1097 and have believedG4100 the loveG26 whichG3739 GodG2316 hasG2192 23for us. 4GodG2316 is loveG26, and the one who 5remainsG3306 in loveG26 remainsG3306 in GodG2316, and GodG2316 remainsG3306 in him.
17By thisG3778, 6loveG26 is perfectedG5048 with us, soG2443 thatG2443 we may haveG2192 7confidenceG3954 in 8the dayG2250 of judgmentG2920; becauseG3754 9as He is, we alsoG2532 are in thisG3778 worldG2889.
18There is noG3756 fearG5401 in loveG26, but 10perfectG5046 loveG26 drivesG906 out fearG5401, becauseG3754 fearG5401 11involvesG2192 punishmentG2851, and the one who fearsG5399 is not 12perfectedG5048 in loveG26.
