I John 4:18:
in Bible in Basic English version:
“There is no fear in love: true love has no room for fear, because where fear is, there is pain; and he who is not free from fear is not complete in love.”
in the New Living Translation:
“Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love.”

The NLT puts a different spin on the verse with its translation "this shows that we have not fully 'experienced' his perfect love" The context, specifically verse 16, seems to suggest that our fear is more the result of not fully 'believing' God's love.
