1 John 4:17-19

NLT

NIV

17 And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face him with confidence because we live like Jesus here 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 Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love.
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 We love each other because he loved us first.
19 We love because he first loved us.
