1 John 4:19 in context

  1. 17Herein is love made perfect with us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as he is, even so are we in this world.
  2. 18There is no fear in love: but perfect love casteth out fear, because fear hath punishment; and he that feareth is not made perfect in love.
  3. 19We love, because he first loved us.
  4. 20If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, cannot love God whom he hath not seen.
  5. 21And this commandment have we from him, that he who loveth God love his brother also.
