'Fear of God is of two kinds. The first is generated in
us by the threat of punishment. It is through such fear that we develop
in due order self-control, patience, hope in God and dispassion; and it
is from dispassion that love comes. The second kind of fear is linked
with love and constantly produces reverence in the soul, so that it does
not grow indifferent to God because of the intimate communion of its
love.'
