1 John 4:18

Amplified Bible (AMP)

There is no fear in love [dread does not exist], but full-grown (complete, perfect) love turns fear out of doors and expels every trace of terror! For fear brings with it the thought of punishment, and [so] he who is afraid has not reached the full maturity of love [is not yet grown into love''s complete perfection].
— 1 John 4:18 (AMP)
