# Instead, perfect love throws out fear
|
|
|
|
Here "love" is described as a person with the power to remove fear. God's love is perfect. Alternate translation: "Instead, when our love is complete, we are no longer afraid" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-personification]])

# because fear has to do with punishment
|
|
|
|
"because we would be afraid only if we thought that he would punish us"
|
|
|
|
# But the one who fears has not been made perfect in love
|
|
|
|
This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "But when a person is afraid that God will punish him, his love is not complete" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]])
