Proverbs 14: 27 NASB
The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life,
That one may avoid the snares of death.
In good men, the fear of God is a holy awe or reverence of God and his laws, which springs from a just view and real love of the divine character, leading the subjects of it to hate and shun every thing that can offend such a holy being, and inclining them to aim at perfect obedience.
From Webster’s Dictionary 1828
