Proverbs 15:33 (NIV)

33 The fear of the LORD teaches a man wisdom,and humility comes before honor.

Fear (Respect, reverence, and piety (Respect = high regard) (Reverence = high regard felt or shown) (Piety = the state of devotion to worship)
Teaches (Discipline = training that corrects, molds or perfects moral character)
Wisdom (Skill = the ability to discern (insight) with or without the experience.)
Humility (Meekness = enduring injury with patience’s and without resentments)
Honor (one’s who worth brings respect)

I was once confronted by a client that said, "Why should I believe in a God that asked me to fear Him?" She was making the same mistake that I was guilt of at times. She was defining the word based on her understanding. There is a great site for checking the Greek and Hebrew defintion of words, it is the Blueletterbible.com
