17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

19 We love him, because he first loved us.

20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.

19 We love because he first loved us.(E) 20 Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister(F) is a liar.(G) For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen,(H) cannot love God, whom they have not seen.(I) 21 And he has given us this command:(J) Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.(K)

But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. 19 (B)We love [a]Him because He first loved us.

Obedience by Faith

20 (C)If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, [b]how can he love God (D)whom he has not seen? 21 And (E)this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God must love his brother also.
