Love has no dread in it; no, love in its fulness drives all dread away, for dread has to do with punishment — anyone who has dread, has not reached the fulness of love.
for God has not given us a timid spirit but a spirit of power and love and discipline.
You have received no slavish spirit that would make you relapse into fear; you have received the Spirit of sonship. And when we cry, "Abba! Father!",
God no one has ever seen; but if we love one another, then God remains within us, and love for him is complete in us.
Therefore let us render thanks that we get an unshaken realm; and in this way let us worship God acceptably —
You believe in one God? Well and good. So do the devils, and they shudder.
