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: was Jesus afraid? |
Bible Note: Just a note; Math.26;39 thru 42,. Mark 14;36,. luke 22;42 John 18;11,. Heb 12;2,. There was no human fear in Jesus, this I agree with, but there was Anxiety, because he was still in the flesh.Heb.12;2Looking into Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him... What was that joy?. In my oppion, God opened a window to the future to allow Jesus to look at the difference that his life would make for us and the world. Just a thought to think about. |
