Fear?
Mat 10:31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.
Jesus is stating not to have fear as in fright or to be afraid because a soul has freewill. If the soul lives in fear, and the soul fears for the demise or salvation of the soul. Where is freewill in fear?
In the New Testament, fear as in Mat 10:31, is in 90 verses.
From the Greek Concordance, that definition of fear is;
G5399 φοβέω From G5401; to frighten, that is, (passively) to be alarmed; by analogy to be in awe of, that is, revere: – be (+ sore) afraid, fear (exceedingly), reverence.
By analogy, or comparison, fear is meant to be in awe of, or to revere, have reverence for. 44 verses are Fear G5401 in the Greek Concordance related to Luke 21:26:
Luke 21:26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
Fear in this context is to have fear in the context of fright, afraid, or terror.
G5401 φόβος From a primary φέβομαι (to be put in fear); alarm or fright: – be afraid, + exceedingly, fear, terror.
Note that the two definitions G5399, found in 90 verses & G5401, found in 44 verses, state an alarm or fright, whereas, in the 90 verses, the definition carries the meaning of being in awe or having reverence for our Lord God.
When reading “fear” verses, apply the correct definition for the correct understanding.
