The fear of the Lord is instruction in wisdom,
and humility comes before honor.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
all those who practice it have a good understanding.
His praise endures forever!
Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire.
REVERENCE — a feeling of profound awe and respect. Because of His majesty and holiness, God arouses a feeling of reverence in those who worship and serve Him.

The apostle Paul viewed fear or reverence to the appropriate level of respect and honor to be shown to another, often in light of fulfilling one’s service to God. For Paul, fear or reverence reflects an appropriate response in terms of respect, honor and service due to the powerful and holy God who is bound by covenant to his people. Due reverence demands moral and cultic obedience; disobedience or not showing due respect warrants justifiable terror.
