1 John 4:17-18 Here is what a complete love will do for us: It will give us boldness in facing the judgment day, because the way Jesus acts regarding love is the way we should act while in this world.

AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ Here is what a complete love will do for us: It will give us boldness in [facing] the judgment day, because the way Jesus acts [regarding love] is the way we should act [while] in this world. ¹⁸ There is no [reason for] fear if one [really] loves, but a complete love removes fear [from us] because fear produces punishment [i.e., mental anxiety], and the person who is [always] afraid does not have a complete love.
