But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
… 
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.
