I'm wondering if anyone knows the meaning of the word translated as 'fear'. Does it mean, literally, 'afraid'? Or maybe to hold in high regard? Or something else entirely?
And are there different words translated into the word 'fear'?
Thanks...

You should fear God for the same reason demons do. He will erase you. It's the same as the fear of death. But you should fear God more than death, because death will not. Death does not require your free-will, God does.
