There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has punishment. He who fears is not made perfect in love.

ગુજરાતીયોહાનનો પહેલો પત્ર ૪:૧૮
પ્રેમમાં ભય નથી, પણ પૂર્ણ પ્રેમ ભયને દૂર કરે છે, કેમ કે ભયમાં શિક્ષા છે. અને જે ભયભીત છે તે પ્રેમમાં સંપૂર્ણ થયેલો નથી.
हिन्दी1 यूहन्ना ४:१८
प्रेम में भय नहीं होता , वरन् सिद्ध प्रेम भय को दूर कर देता है, क्योंकि भय का सम्बंध दण्ड से होता है, और जो भय करता है, वह प्रेम में सिद्ध नहीं हुआ।

In context

16We know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him.

17In this, love has been made perfect among us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, because as he is, even so we are in this world.

18There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has punishment. He who fears is not made perfect in love.

19We love him, because he first loved us.

20If a man says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who doesn’t love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?
