1 John 4:16 in Context — 1 John 4
14 Y nosotros hemos visto y testificamos que el Padre ha enviado al Hijo [para ser] Salvador del mundo.
15 Cualquiera que confesare que Jesús es el Hijo de Dios, Dios está en él, y él en Dios.
16 Y nosotros hemos conocido y creído el amor que Dios tiene para con nosotros. Dios es amor; y el que vive en amor, vive en Dios, y Dios en él.
17 En esto es perfecto el amor con nosotros, para que tengamos confianza en el día del juicio; pues como él es, así somos nosotros en este mundo.
18 En amor no hay temor; mas el perfecto amor echa fuera el temor: porque el temor tiene pena. De donde el que teme, no está perfecto en el amor.
