Origen

“ They, then, who live according to fear, which God exacts from those who are not good servants, as we read in Malachi, [6] “If I am a Master, where is My fear?” are servants of a master who is called their Saviour. ”

“ It is plain to all how our Lord is a teacher and an interpreter for those who are striving towards godliness, and on the other hand a master of those servants who have the spirit of bondage to fear, [1] who make progress and hasten towards wisdom, and are found worthy to possess it. ”
