became used of the estimate (

and hence, in general, a “penalty.”

Matt. 25:46, “(eternal) punishment,” and 1 John 4:18, “(fear hath) punishment,”

“torment”), which there describes a process, not merely an effect; this kind of fear is
expelled by perfect love; where God’s love is being perfected in us, it gives no room for
the fear of meeting with His reprobation; the “punishment” referred to is the immediate
consequence of the sense of sin, not a holy awe but a slavish fear, the negation of the
enjoyment of love.¶
