15 whoever may confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him, and he in God; 16 and we have known and believed the love that God has in us; God is love, and he who is remaining in love, remains in God, and God in him. 17 In this, love has been perfected with us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, because even as He is, we also are in this world. 18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and he who is fearing has not been made perfect in love; 19 we love Him, because He first loved us; 20 if anyone may say, “I love God,” and may hate his brother, he is a liar; for he who is not loving his brother whom he has seen, how is he able to love God whom he has not seen? 21 And this [is] the command we have from Him, that he who is loving God, may also love his brother. 1 John 4:15-21, Literal Standard Version.
