17 Herein has love been perfected with us that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, that even as he is, we also are in this world.

18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear; for fear has torment, and he that fears has not been made perfect in love.

19 We love because he has first loved us.

20 If any one say, I love God, and hate his brother, he is a liar: for he that loves not his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?
