1 John 4:18-21

Goodspeed(i) 18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear. For fear suggests punishment and no one who feels fear has attained perfect love. 19 We love because he loved us first. 20 If anyone says, "I love God," and yet hates his brother, he is a liar; for whoever does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen. 21 This is the command that we get from him, that whoever loves God must love his brother also.
