Who are The Fearful
Revelation 21:5-8
And he that sat on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said to me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.


"The cowards" would express the sense more accurately, at least in modern English. Those condemned are those who are afraid to do their duty, not those who do it, though timidly and in spite of the fears of nature: still less those who do it "with fear and trembling" in St. Paul's sense.

(W. H. Simcox, M. A.)
