Usage: The verb τρέμω is used in the New Testament to describe a physical or emotional response of trembling, often in the context of fear, reverence, or awe. Context: The Greek verb τρέμω appears in the New Testament to convey a sense of trembling or quaking, typically associated with fear or reverence. This term is used to describe both physical trembling and an internal emotional state. In the context of the New Testament, τρέμω often reflects a response to divine presence or authority, highlighting the human reaction to the power and holiness of God. For example, in Philippians 2:12, believers are exhorted to "work out your salvation with fear and trembling," indicating a posture of reverence and seriousness in their spiritual journey. This usage underscores the importance of approaching one's faith with a deep sense of respect and awareness of God's majesty. In Acts 9:6, Saul (later Paul) is described as "trembling and astonished" after his encounter with the risen Christ on the road to Damascus. This illustrates a profound moment of fear and awe in response to a direct divine revelation, marking a pivotal transformation in Saul's life. The concept of trembling in the presence of God is a recurring theme throughout Scripture, emphasizing the appropriate human response to the divine. It serves as a reminder of the power and holiness of God, calling believers to approach Him with humility and reverence.
