1 John 4:17 in Context — 1 John 4
15 Celui qui confessera que Jésus est le Fils de Dieu, Dieu demeure en lui, et lui en Dieu.
16 Et nous, nous avons connu l’amour que Dieu a pour nous, et nous y avons cru. Dieu est amour; et celui qui demeure dans l’amour demeure en Dieu, et Dieu demeure en lui.
17 Tel il est, tels nous sommes aussi dans ce monde: c’est en cela que l’amour est parfait en nous, afin que nous ayons de l’assurance au jour du jugement.
18 La crainte n’est pas dans l’amour, mais l’amour parfait bannit la crainte; car la crainte suppose un châtiment, et celui qui craint n’est pas parfait dans l’amour.
19 Pour nous, nous l’aimons, parce qu’il nous a aimés le premier.
