This quote suggests that fear and reverence are related concepts, but not interchangeable. It implies that reverence, which involves deep respect and admiration, is a subset of fear.

This implies that fear can encompass a broader range of emotions and motivations, whereas reverence is more specific and stems from a profound sense of honor or awe towards something or someone.
