“In this, love has been made perfect among us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, because as he is, even so we are in this world.”
1 John 4:17 (WEB)
Context Reading
15Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him, and he in God. 16We know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him. 17In this, love has been made perfect among us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, because as he is, even so we are in this world. 18There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has punishment. He who fears is not made perfect in love. 19We love him,because he first loved us.
