¹⁸ There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has punishment. He who fears is not made perfect in love.

⁷ For God didn't give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.

¹⁵ For you didn't receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, "Abba{Abba is a Chaldee word for father or daddy, often used affectionately and respectfully in prayer to our Father in heaven.}! Father!"

¹² No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God remains in us, and his love has been perfected in us.

⁷⁴ To grant to 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 the days of our life.

²⁸ Therefore, receiving a Kingdom that can't be shaken, let us have grace, through which we serve God acceptably, with reverence and awe,

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