I believe a better translation for this is found in understanding that the word kolasis often translated "punishment" also has the meaning "correction" (Thayer's definition). If we apply this definition to the passage it makes sense in the context of the verses as well as surrounding verses, ie."perfect love casts out fear, because fear has a correction, namely love, and one who fears has not yet been perfected in love." So in answer to your question: Yes, God's perfect love casts out fear. I think it is important to remember that this is a process. Many of us struggle with fears of various sorts, but as we fill up with the love of God through relationship with Him we become more confident and less fearful. |
