We do not need to fear anything

So, you disagree with St. Paul in Phil 2:12?

Can I ask you, next time if you have the urge to go to the concordance and pull the quotes you like with "fear" in them, also tell me why a particular quote is relevant, and why you reject the quote we are discussing?

with fear and trembling--the very feeling enjoined on "servants," as to what ought to accompany their "obedience" ( Eph 6:5 ). So here: See that, as "servants" to God, after the example of Christ, ye be so "with the fear and trembling" which becomes servants; not slavish fear, but trembling anxiety not to fall short of the goal ( 1Cr 9:26, 27 Hbr 4:1 , "Let us fear, lest a promise being left us of entering into His rest, any should come short of it"), resulting from a sense of our human insufficiency, and from the consciousness that all depends on the power of God, "who worketh both to will and to do" ( Rom 11:20 ). "Paul, though joyous, writes seriously" [J. J. WOLF].
