Definition: to show reverent regard for

Notes: In εὐλαβέομαι[a] and εὐλάβεια there is also a certain element of awe, which may be interpreted in some instances as implying even fear. The implication of such reverent fear or awe is, of course, obedience, and some scholars prefer to interpret these terms in RV HEB 11:7 · LV HEB 11:7 · Read together HEB 11:7 and RV HEB 5:7 · LV HEB 5:7 · Read together HEB 5:7 as meaning ‘to obey’ (see 36.13: εὐλαβέομαι) or ‘obedience.’
