- There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.
- For I, the Lord your God, will hold your right hand,
Saying to you, ‘Fear not, I will help you.’ - Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
- And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
- Fear not, for I am with you;
Be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you,
Yes, I will help you,
I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. - The Lord is on my side;
I will not fear.
What can man do to me? - By humility and the fear of the Lord
Are riches and honor and life. - The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom,
And before honor is humility. - Better is a little with the fear of the Lord,
Than great treasure with trouble. - As a father pities his children,
So the Lord pities those who fear Him. - Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him,
On those who hope in His mercy. - God shall bless us,
And all the ends of the earth shall fear Him. - To him who is afflicted, kindness should be shown by his friend,
Even though he forsakes the fear of the Almighty. - The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge,
But fools despise wisdom and instruction. - The fear of man brings a snare,
But whoever trusts in the Lord shall be safe. - For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
- The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. - Though an army may encamp against me,
My heart shall not fear;
Though war may rise against me,
In this I will be confident. - So we may boldly say:
“The Lord is my helper;
I will not fear.
What can man do to me?” - Do not be wise in your own eyes;
Fear the Lord and depart from evil.
It will be health to your flesh,
And strength to your bones. - The fear of the Lord is to hate evil;
Pride and arrogance and the evil way
And the perverse mouth I hate. - For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.”
- Only fear the Lord, and serve Him in truth with all your heart; for consider what great things He has done for you.
- And the Lord, He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed.
- Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter:
Fear God and keep His commandments,
For this is man’s all.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
A good understanding have all those who do His commandments.
His praise endures forever.Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing.
