16 And we have known and believed the love which God hath towards us. God is love; and he that abideth in love, abideth in God, and God in him. 17 By this is his love towards us perfected, that we might have confidence at the day of judgment; because as he is, so are we in this world. 18 Fear is not in this love; but the perfect love casteth out fear: for fear hath anguish. He that is afraid is not made perfect in love. 19 We love him, because he first loved us. 20 If any person say, I love God, yet hateth his brother, he is a liar; for he who loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love the God whom he hath not seen? 21 So this commandment have we from him, that he who loveth God love also his brother. 1 John 4:16-21, Haweis New Testament.
