18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.
19 aWe love1 Him because He first loved us.
Obedience by Faith
20 aIf someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen,1 how can he love God bwhom he has not seen?
21 And athis commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God must love his brother also.
