15 Whoever acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him, and he in God. 16 And we have known and have believed the love which God has in us. God is love; and he remaining in love remains in God, and God in him. 17 In this has love been completed with us, that we might have freedom of speech in the day of judgment: for as he is, so are we in this world. 18 Fear is not in love; but perfected love casts out fear: for fear has restraint. And he fearing has not been perfected in love. 19 We should love him, for he first loved us. 20 If any say, I love God, and hate his brother, he is a liar: for he not loving his brother whom he has seen, God whom he has not seen, how can he love? 21 And this command have we from him, That he loving God love his brother also. 1 John 4:15-21, Smith's Literal Translation.
