- In love there is no fear;
indeed, perfect love casts out fear,
because fear has to do with punishment,
and whoever fears
has not yet achieved perfection in love. - The reward of humility and fear of the Lord
is wealth, honor, and life. - The fear of the Lord provides instruction in wisdom,
and to be humble is the way to honor. - Have no fear of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, fear the one who can destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.
- But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him,
on those who trust in his kindness. - It is better to have a little and fear the Lord
than to possess immense wealth and suffer anguish. - As a father has compassion for his children,
so the Lord has compassion for those who fear him. - One who despairs should have the support of his friends
even if he has forsaken the fear of the Almighty. - The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge;
fools are those who despise wisdom and instruction. - The fear of others will prove to be a snare,
but whoever trusts in the Lord is secure. - The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. - The fear of the Lord implies hatred of evil;
I hate pride and arrogance,
evil ways and perverse speech. - Blessed are all those who fear the Lord
and walk in his ways. - Only fear the Lord and serve him faithfully with your whole heart, considering the great things he has done for you.
- Yet even if you should suffer for doing what is right, you are thereby blessed. Have no fear of others, and refuse to be intimidated by them.
- This is the end of my teaching.
All has been heard.
Fear God and keep his commandments,
for that is the responsibility of everyone. - The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
those who are guided by it will grow in understanding.
His praise will last forever. - May God continue to bless us
and be revered to the ends of the earth. - The Lord is my light and my salvation;
whom should I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life;
of whom should I be afraid? - For I, the Lord, am your God
and I grasp your right hand.
It is I who say to you,
Do not fear; I will help you. - Even if an army encamps against me,
my heart will not succumb to fear;
even if war breaks out against me,
I will not have my trust shaken. - Do not pride yourself on your own wisdom;
fear the Lord and turn your back on evil.
This will provide healing for your flesh
and restore strength to your body. - Fear not, little flock, for your Father has chosen to give you the kingdom.
- The Lord commanded us to observe all of these statutes and to fear the Lord, our God, so that we might always prosper and be kept alive, even as we are today.
- Even though I wander
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are at my side,
with your rod and your staff
that comfort me.
For you did not receive a spirit of slavery leading to fear; rather, you received the Spirit of adoption, enabling us to cry out, “Abba! Father!”The Lord is slow to anger but great in power,
and he will never allow the guilty
to escape punishment.
He makes his way in whirlwind and storm,
and the clouds are the dust beneath his feet. Love does not rejoice over wrongdoing
but rejoices in the truth.
Love bears all things,
believes all things,
hopes all things,
endures all things.Next verse!With image
