AI Summary
φοβέομαι means, in its ordinary New Testament use, to be afraid, to be seized with fear, to be terrified or alarmed 1234. It describes the state of being frightened, whether by a real danger, a sudden event, or a threatening person, and can take an object ("fear someone/something"), a clause ("fear that..."), or stand alone 13.
By extension the same word is used for reverent fear, awe, or respect rather than fright — especially in the phrase "fear God" or "fear the Lord," and in contexts like husbands and wives, or fearing a ruler's authority 12.
The verb also has an older, active sense, to terrify or frighten someone, and in earlier Greek even to put someone to flight 3. This active use of "terrify" does occur in the Greek Old Testament, but in the New Testament the word is always used passively, of the person who is afraid, rather than of one who frightens others 1.
