1 John 4:17-19
New American Standard Bible 1995
17 By this, (A)love is perfected with us, so that we may have (B)confidence in (C)the day of judgment; because (D)as He is, so also are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love; but (E)perfect love casts out fear, because fear [a]involves punishment, and the one who fears is not (F)perfected in love. 19 (G)We love, because He first loved us.

1 John 4:17-19
New International Version
17 This is how love is made complete(A) among us so that we will have confidence(B) on the day of judgment:(C) In this world we are like Jesus. 18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear,(D) because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
19 We love because he first loved us.(E)
