11 To this Abraham said: “It was because I said to myself, ‘Doubtless there is no fear of God* in this place,+ and they will certainly kill me because of my wife.’+

12 And he went on to say: “Do not put out your hand against the boy and do not do anything at all to him,+ for now I do know that you are God-fearing* in that you have not withheld your son, your only one, from me.”+

43 You must not tread down upon him with tyranny,+ and you must be in fear of your God.+

24 Only fear+ Jehovah, and YOU must serve him in truth with all YOUR heart;+ for see what great things he has done for YOU.+

9 And I* went on to say: “The thing that YOU are doing is not good.+ Is it not in the fear+ of our God+ that YOU should walk because of the reproach+ of the nations, our enemies?+

7 The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of knowledge.+ Wisdom and discipline are what mere fools have despised.+

13 The fear of Jehovah means the hating of bad.+ Self-exaltation and pride+ and the bad way and the perverse mouth+ I have hated.

31 Then, indeed, the congregation+ throughout the whole of Ju·deʹa and Galʹi·lee and Sa·marʹi·a entered into a period of peace, being built up; and as it walked in the fear of Jehovah*+ and in the comfort of the holy spirit+ it kept on multiplying.
