16 And we have known and believed the love that God has in us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.
17 In this is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, that as He is, so also we are in this world.
18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has torment. He who fears has not been perfected in love.
