(Pro 13:13 KJV) Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.
Once again, I felt like Moffett had a good insight. He takes the second part of the verse and put a little bit different spin on it.
“To stand in awe of God’s command is safety.”
His choice of vocabulary is totally acceptable and yet it brings a totally different view of what is being said. “Awe” , is a perfectly acceptable synonym for fear. In the same way the idea of safety instead of being rewarded is also a good idea.
So? It pays to follow God’s standards.
