The following is the results of your search for Fear of the Lord the.

Fear of the Lord the: Is in the Old Testament used as a designation of true piety (Proverbs 1:7) (Job 28:28; Psalms 19:9) It is a fear conjoined with love and hope, and is therefore not a slavish dread, but rather filial reverence. (Comp.) (Deuteronomy 32:6; Hosea 11:1; Isaiah 1:2; 63:16; 64:8) God is called "the Fear of Isaac" (Genesis 31:42,53) i.e., the God whom Isaac feared. A holy fear is enjoined also in the New Testament as a preventive of carelessness in religion, and as an incentive to penitence (Matthew 10:28; 2 Corinthians 5:11; 7:1) (Philippians 2:12; Ephesians 5:21; Hebrews 12:28,29)
