         DefinitionShort: a state of severe distress, aroused by intense concern for impending pain, danger, evil, etc., or possibly by the illusion of such circumstances

         Glosses: fear

         Comments: In a number of languages there is no noun-like word for ‘fear.’ Accordingly, expressions containing such a noun in Greek must often be restructured so that the corresponding semantic unit may be expressed by a verb. Therefore, instead of ‘fear,’ one may have expressions such as ‘be afraid’ or ‘to fear.’ Instead of ‘fears within’ ({S:04700700500040}), one may translate ‘in our hearts we were afraid.’

         DefinitionShort: the occasion or source of fear

         Glosses: something to be feared

         Comments: φόβος in the sense of ‘source of fear’ is essentially a causative, so that {S:04501300300012} may often be rendered as ‘for the rulers do not cause those who do good to fear but cause those who do what is bad to fear.’
