12No man has ever seen God: if we have love for one another, God is in us and his love is made complete in us:
13And his Spirit which he has given us is the witness that we are in him and he is in us.
14And we have seen and give witness that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
15Everyone who says openly that Jesus is the Son of God, has God in him and is in God.
16And we have seen and had faith in the love which God has for us. God is love, and everyone who has love is in God, and God is in him.
17In this way love is made complete in us, so that we may be without fear on the day of judging, because as he is, so are we in this world.
18There is no fear in love: true love has no room for fear, because where fear is, there is pain; and he who is not free from fear is not complete in love.
