There is nofearin love;but perfectlovecastsout fear,becausefearinvolvespunishment,and the one who fearsis not perfectedin love.
"Soundsof terrorare in his ears;While at peacethe destroyercomesupon him.
My fleshtremblesfor fearof You, And I am afraidof Your judgments.Ayin.
Howthey are destroyedin a moment!They are utterlysweptawayby suddenterrors!
But the Phariseeswere saying,"He castsout the demonsby the rulerof the demons."
For you have not receiveda spiritof slaveryleadingto fearagain,but you have receiveda spiritof adoption as sonsby whichwe cryout, "Abba!Father!"
For Godhas not givenus a spiritof timidity,but of powerand loveand discipline.
Therefore,since we receivea kingdomwhich cannot be shaken,let us showgratitude,by whichwe may offerto Godan acceptableservicewith reverenceand awe;
You believethat Godis one.You dowell;the demonsalsobelieve,and shudder.
No onehas seenGodat any time;ifwe loveone another,Godabidesin us, and His loveis perfectedin us.
