敬畏(awe),意指在面对权威、庄严或崇高事物时所产生的情绪,带有恐惧、尊敬及惊奇的感受。[1]

孔子说:“君子有三畏:畏天命,畏大人.畏圣人之言。”[2]朱熹说:“然有甚物,只如字相似,不是块然兀坐,耳无闻目无见,全不省事之谓,只收敛身心,整齐纯一,不恁地放纵,便是敬。”[3]

汉语《辞源》没有收录“敬畏”一词,疑似现代复合词。《简明汉英词典》与“敬畏”相对应的英文词汇是“awe”、“fear”、“revere”、“reverence”四个词汇,例如:

英文钦定版圣经:“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom.”《箴言》第9章第10节

英文钦定版圣经:“Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear。”《希伯来书》第12章第28节
