1 John 4:17 in Context — 1 John 4

15 Todo aquele que confessar que Jesus é o Filho de Deus, Deus está nele, e ele em Deus.

16 E nós conhecemos e cremos no amor que Deus tem por nós. Deus é amor, e quem está no amor está em Deus, e Deus nele.

17 Nisto o amor é aperfeiçoado em nós, para que no dia do juízo tenhamos confiança, pois, como ele é, assim somos nós neste mundo.

18 No amor não há medo; pelo contrário, o perfeito amor expulsa o medo; pois o medo está relacionado ao castigo; e o que teme não está aperfeiçoado em amor.

19 Nós o amamos, porque ele nos amou primeiro.
