rsv 1John:4:16-18
rsv@1John:4:16 @ So we know and believe the love God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
rsv@1John:4:17 @ In this is love perfected with us, that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so are we in this world.
rsv@1John:4:18 @ There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and he who fears is not perfected in love.
