“There is no fear in love – dread does not exist; but full-grown (complete, perfect) love turns fear out of doors and expels every trace of terror! For fear brings with it the thought of punishment, and [so] he who is afraid has not reached the full maturity of love – is not yet grown into love’s complete perfection.” – First John 5:18 (The Amplified Bible)
“fear less love more”
“‘Men’s states vary:
one is without fear and love;
another, with fear without love;
another, with fear and love;
another, without fear with love’
[BENGEL].”
(Jamieson Fausset and Brown – Commentary on the Whole Bible)
