1 JOHN 4:17 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“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.”
By this is love perfected with us, that we may have confidence in the day of judgment, because as he is so also are we in this world — love's perfection (teleioo) produces confidence (parrēsia) for judgment. Likeness to Christ (kathos ekeinos) in present conduct ensures boldness before the judge. Eschatological hope is established in present love.
