1 JOHN 4:18 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“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.”
There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love — fear (phobos) and love (agapē) are mutually exclusive. Perfect love (teleia agapē) eliminates the fear of punishment (kolasis). Fear indicates incomplete love-transformation.
