Perfect Love

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.

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.

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. 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. We love him, because he first loved us.

And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

• Assurance

But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.

No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

• Power
• War

And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

• Works

But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?

I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

We love him, because he first loved us.

And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
