Greek-English Concordance for

Matthew 25:46 And these will depart to eternal punishment (kolasin | κόλασιν | acc sg fem), but the righteous to eternal life.”
1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear because fear has to do with punishment (kolasin | κόλασιν | acc sg fem). So the one who fears has not been perfected in love.
