QUOTED TWICE IN THE NEW TESTAMENT:
The repeated theme is that “the fear of God (meaning submission to the will of God) is the beginning of wisdom”.
Prov 3:11 My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:
Heb 12:5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:
Prov 3:12 For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
Heb 12:6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
