I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. But I will show you Whom you should fear: Fear Him Who, after the killing of the body, has power to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear Him. (Luke, 12:4-5) ... So you must live in reverent fear of Him during your time as "foreigners in the land." (1 Peter, 1:17) Show proper respect to everyone: Love the brotherhood of believers, fear God... (1 Peter, 2:17) ... to every nation, tribe, language and people. He said in a loud voice, "Fear God and give Him glory..." (Revelation, 14:6-7) [Jesus:] "Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One Who can destroy both soul and body in hell." (Matthew, 10:28) For the Mighty One [God] has done great things for me—holy is His name.His mercy extends to those who fear Him, from generation to generation. (Luke, 1:49-50)
