Under the same condemnation
Perhaps most of you, who by the mercy of God now partake of a better spirit, may remember the time when you were as they are, when you were under the same condemnation. But at first you did not know it, though you were wallowing daily in your sins and in your blood, until in due time you received the spirit of fear. You received it, for this also is the gift of God. And afterward, fear vanished away, and the Spirit of love filled your hearts.

4. Perhaps most of you, who by the mercy of God, now partake of a better spirit, may remember the time, when ye were as they, when ye were under the same condemnation. But at first ye knew it not, tho’ ye were wallowing daily in your sins and in your blood: till in due time ye received the spirit of fear (ye received; for this also is the gift of God:) and afterwards, fear vanished away, and the Spirit of love filled your hearts.
