"phobos" GK5832/SC5401
Slaves (Christian and non-Christian) told to fear their masters:
(Eph 6:5 NASB) Slaves, be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in the sincerity of your heart, as to Christ;
(Phi 2:12-13 NASB) So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure.
(1Ti 5:20 NASB) Those who continue in sin, rebuke in the presence of all, so that the rest also will be fearful of sinning.
(1Pe 1:17 NASB) If you address as Father the One who impartially judges according to each one's work, conduct yourselves in fear during the time of your stay on earth;
(1Pe 2:18 NASB) Servants, be submissive to your masters with all
respect, not only to those who are good and gentle, but also to those who are unreasonable.
(1Pe 3:1-2 NASB) 1 Peter 3:1 In the same way, you wives, be submissive to your own husbands so that even if any of them are disobedient to the word, they may be won without a word by the behavior of their wives,
2 as they observe your chaste and
respectful behavior.
