Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Hebrew 3372: יָרֵא (yare) • to fear, revere, be afraid Usage: • The term "φόβος" is used in the New Testament to describe both the fear or terror that one might feel in the face of danger or the unknown, as well as a reverential awe or respect, particularly in relation to God. Context: • The Greek word "φόβος" appears in various contexts throughout the New Testament, reflecting a range of meanings from literal fear to profound reverence. In passages such as Matthew 14:26, "When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified. 'It’s a ghost!' they said, and cried out in fear," φόβος is used to describe the disciples' terror. In contrast, in passages like Acts 9:31, "Then the church throughout Judea, Galilee, and Samaria enjoyed a time of peace and was strengthened. Living in the fear of the Lord and encouraged by the Holy Spirit, it increased in numbers," φόβος conveys a sense of reverential awe and respect for God.
