Chapter V.—The
Fear of God.
“Therefore you shall be able to persuade
yourselves with respect to the things that are profitable, if, like
charmers, you say to the horrible serpent which lurks in your heart,
‘The Lord God thou shalt fear, and Him alone thou shalt
serve.’1121
| 1121 Matt. iv. 10; [Luke iv. 8; Deut. vi.
13.—R.]. | On every
account it is advantageous to fear Him alone, not as an unjust, but as
a righteous God. For one fears an unjust being, lest he be
wrongfully destroyed, but a righteous one, lest he be caught in sin and
punished. You can therefore, by fear towards Him, be freed from
many hurtful fears. For if you do not fear the one Lord and Maker
of all, you shall be the slaves of all evils to your own hurt, I mean
of demons and diseases, and of everything that can in any way hurt
you.
