1 John 4:16-18
1599 Geneva Bible
16 And we have known, and believed the love that God hath in us, [a]God is love, and he that dwelleth in love, dwelleth in God, and God in him.
17 [b]Herein is that love perfect in us, that we should have boldness in the day of judgment: for [c]as he is, even so are we in this world.
18 There is no [d]fear in love, but perfect love casteth out fear: for fear hath painfulness: and he that feareth, is not perfect in love.

- 1 John 4:16 A fourth reason: God is the fountain and wellspring of charity, yea, charity itself: therefore whosoever abideth in it, hath God with him.
- 1 John 4:17 Again (as a little before) he commendeth love, for that seeing that by our agreement with God in this thing, we have a certain testimony of our adoption, it cometh thereby to pass, that without fear we look for that latter day of judgment, so that trembling and that torment of conscience is cast out by this love.
- 1 John 4:17 This signifieth all likeness, not equality.
- 1 John 4:18 If we understand by love, that we are in God, and God in us, that we are sons, and that we know God, and that everlasting life is in us: he concludeth aright that we may well gather peace and quietness thereby.
