1 John 4:18-20
New American Standard Bible 1995
18 There is no fear in love; but (A)perfect love casts out fear, because fear [a]involves punishment, and the one who fears is not (B)perfected in love. 19 (C)We love, because He first loved us. 20 (D)If someone says, “I love God,” and (E)hates his brother, he is a (F)liar; for (G)the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, (H)cannot love God whom he has not seen.

1 John 4:18-20
New International Version
18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear,(A) 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.(B) 20 Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister(C) is a liar.(D) For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen,(E) cannot love God, whom they have not seen.(F)
