“Herein is Our Love made Perfect” 1 John 4:17 “Herein is our love made perfect.” Those words, as suggested by our translators in the margin of our Bible, might be better translated, “Herein is his love with us made perfect.” John is not talking about us loving God perfectly or loving one another perfectly.
