¹⁸ There is no fear in love: but perfect love casteth out fear, because fear hath punishment; and he that feareth is not made perfect in love.

⁷ For God gave us not a spirit of fearfulness; but of power and love and discipline.

¹⁵ For ye received not the spirit of bondage again unto fear; but ye received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

¹² No man hath beheld God at any time: if we love one another, God abideth in us, and his love is perfected in us:

⁷⁴ To grant unto us that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies Should serve him without fear,

⁷⁵ In holiness and righteousness before him all our days.

²⁸ Wherefore, receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us have grace, whereby we may offer service well-pleasing to God with reverence and awe:

²¹ A sound of terrors is in his ears; In prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.
