1 John 4:17-20
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 4
17
By this, love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment; because as He is, we also are in this world.
18
There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love.
19
We love, because He first loved us.
20
If someone says, 'I love God,' and
yet
he hates his brother
or sister,
he is a liar; for the one who does not love his brother
and sister
whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.
King James Version
Chapter 4
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?
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 4
17
In this, love is made complete with us so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment, because as he is, so also are we in this world.
18
There is no fear in love; instead, perfect love drives out fear, because fear involves punishment. So the one who fears is not complete in love.
19
We love because he first loved us.
20
If anyone says, "I love God," and yet hates his brother or sister, he is a liar. For the person who does not love his brother or sister whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen.
New Living Translation
Chapter 4
17
And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face him with confidence because we live like Jesus here in this world.
18
Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love.
19
We love each other because he loved us first.
20
If someone says, 'I love God,' but hates a fellow believer, that person is a liar; for if we don’t love people we can see, how can we love God, whom we cannot see?
English Standard Version
Chapter 4
17
By this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so also are we in this world.
18
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.
19
We love because he first loved us.
20
If anyone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen.
New International Version
Chapter 4
17
This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus.
18
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
19
We love because he first loved us.
20
Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen.
New King James Version
Chapter 4
17
Love has been perfected among us in this: 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 casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.
19
We love Him because He first loved us.
20
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, how can he love God whom he has not seen?
