喜樂美語
  1. 1

    A God-fearing person tries to live a good, honest life and follow the rules of the Christian religion. Here fearing does not mean they jump in ; it means they have deep respect for God and care about doing right. The phrase is a little old-fashioned and often used with respect — people say a God-fearing family to mean serious about faith and morals. It is not an insult.

    敬畏上帝的、虔誠的
