Traced every one of these scriptures back and the two words translated to fear in the edition you use can also be translated as reverence. (I use Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance)
Tell me, how can you be in fear and also: Matthew 22:37
He said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’
Ephesians 5:2
and live in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
2 Thessalonians 3:5
May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the steadfastness of Christ.
2 Timothy 1:7
for God did not give us a spirit of cowardice, but rather a spirit of power and of love and of self-discipline.
1 John 4:7
[ God Is Love ] Beloved, let us love one another, because love is from God; everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.
1 John 4:8
Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love.
1 John 4:16
So we have known and believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and those who abide in love abide in God, and God abides in them.
1 John 5:1
[ Faith Conquers the World ] Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the parent loves the child.
1 John 5:2
By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments.
Jude 1:21

And most important:
1 John 4:18
There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear; for fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not reached perfection in love.
Correct. That was also RGIII's use of the word as well.
You misinterpreted the word as he used it.
