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, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. |
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected love. |

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. |
There is no fear in love [dread does not exist], but full-grown (complete, perfect) love turns fear out of doors and expels every trace of terror! For fear brings with it the thought of punishment, and [so] he who is afraid has not reached the full maturity of love [is not yet grown into love’s complete perfection]. |
Fear does not exist in the sphere of the aforementioned love. Certainly, this aforementioned love which exists in its completed state throws fear outside, because this fear has a penalty, and the one who fears has not been brought to completion in the sphere of this love and is not in that state at present. |

Love contains no fear – indeed fully-developed love expels every particle of fear, for fear always contains some of the torture of feeling guilty. The man who lives in fear has not yet had his love perfected. |
There is no fear in love, and perfect love drives out fear, because fear pertains to punishment, and no one who is subject to fear has attained perfection in love. |
There is 2076 no 3756 fear 5401 in 1722 love; 26 but 235 perfect 5046 love 26 casteth 906 out 1854 fear: 5401 because 3754 fear 5401 hath 2192 torment. 2851 - 1161 He that feareth 5399 is not 3756 made perfect 5048 in 1722 love. 26 |
