1 John 4:17-19

WYC

NIV

17 In this thing is the perfect charity of God with us [In this thing is the perfect charity of God in us], that we have trust in the day of doom; for as he is, also we be in this world.
17 This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus.
18 Dread is not in charity, but perfect charity putteth out dread [but perfect charity sendeth out dread]; for dread hath pain. But he that dreadeth, is not perfect in charity.
18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
19 Therefore love we God, for he loved us before. [+Therefore love we God, for he before loved us/for he former loved us.]
19 We love because he first loved us.
