There is no fear in love] If we know by love, that God is in us, and we in him, v. 16. we may well be fearlesse of damnation, and not give way to terrours of conscience, timorousnesse, or desparation. There is no cause of fear of hell, Romans 8:31. perfect love] Sincere, without hypocrisie; as chap. 3. 18, 19. Or, full, wanting no degree, James 1:4. casteth out fear] He that truely loveth God, doth not forbear sin for fear of ell onely, but rather out of love to God: as a loving wife forbeareth all disloyall and undutifull carriage, not for fear of death, so much as out of love to her husband, 2 Timothy 1:7. Or, Servile fear doth not exercise his work, while love doth exercise his; but sometimes it may be of good use in a good man, when the flesh would prevail. Or, perfect love in heaven, casteth out all fear of hell.
