Yochanan I 4:17-19

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹⁷ By this has the ahavah become shleimah with us, that we may have bitachon in the Yom HaDin, because as that One is, so we are also in the Olam Hazeh.

¹⁸ Pachad (fear) is not in ahavah, but the ahavah hashleimah casts out pachad, because pachad has to do with pachad of the onesh (punishment) and the one with pachad has not been perfected in ahavah.

¹⁹ We have ahavah because rishonah He had ahavah for us.
