16And we have come to know and believe the love that God has for us. God is love; whoever abides in love abides in God, and God in him.
17In this way, love has been perfected among us, so that we may have confidence on the day of judgment; for in this world we are just like Him.
18There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear involves punishment. The one who fears has not been perfected in love.
