- 17In this love has been made perfect among us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, because as he is, even so we are in this world.
- 18There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has punishment. He who fears is not made perfect in love.
- 19We love him, because he first loved us.
