NASB | 1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love [dread does not exist]. But perfect (complete, full-grown) love drives out fear, because fear involves [the expectation of divine] punishment, so the one who is afraid [of God's judgment] is not perfected in love [has not grown into a sufficient understanding of God's love]. |
Subject: God loves that you love |
Bible Note: Fear is perverse faith. it is actually faith in the devil's ability to harm you. The only way to kick it out is to grow in love. If you fear love is not made complete in you . . . remember that God is Love (1 Jn 4:7,8). Simply put if you still have fear in you, then the fullness of God is not in you |
