Deilos (Strong’s 1169) = negative fear of timidity is contrasted with phobos – positive fear (Strong’s 5401 mentioned re’ fear of God etc)
It is linked to a lack of faith (pistei):
Mt 8:26, Mk 4:40 – why afraid, men of little faith?
Rev 21:8: Deilos and unbelieving (a-pisteos) folk are assigned to the a second death.
