But I will forewarn you whom you shall fear: Fear him, who after he has killed has power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.
Read Chapter 12
Shepherd of Hermas
AD 150
But as to the threats of the devil, fear them not at all, for he is powerless as the sinews of a dead man. Give ear to me, then, and fear Him who has all power, both to save and destroy.
"But I will show you whom ye shall fear: fear Him who, after He hath killed, hath power to cast into hell "(meaning, of course, the Creator); "yea, I say unto you, fear Him."
