1 John 4:18-20
English Standard Version
18 There is no fear in love, but (A)perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not (B)been perfected in love. 19 (C)We love because he first loved us. 20 (D)If anyone says, “I love God,” and (E)hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot[a] love God (F)whom he has not seen.
