It is that affectionate reverence by which the child of God bends himself humbly and carefully to his Father s law. His wrath is so bitter, and His love so sweet; that hence springs an earnest desire to please Him, and because of the danger of coming short from his own weakness and temptations a holy watchfulness and fear, that he might not sin against Him. --Charles Bridges

挪亚是个义人, 在当时的世代是个完全人挪亚与神同行 ( 创六 9) Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked faithfully with God. (Gen 6:9) 耶和华问撒但说 : 你曾用心察看我的仆人约伯没有? 地上再没有人像他完全正直, 敬畏神, 远离恶事 ( 伯一 8) Then the Lord said to Satan, Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil. (Job 1.8)

所罗门不效法他父亲大卫诚诚实实地顺服耶和华他的神 ( 王上十一 4) 'The heart of David was perfect with the Lord his God.' (1 Kings 11.4) 亚撒一生却向耶和华存诚实的心 ( 王上十五 14) Asa's heart was perfect with the Lord all his days. ( 1 Kings 15. 14)
