Ecclesiastes 12:13
Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
If you fear God and do what He says, you need not fear any man whatever he might say.
Matthew 10:28
Fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
Fear the commands of God, not the propaganda of people.
Romans 8:31-34
What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
The man who does what God says has no reason to fear God or man. If you can stand before the throne of God you need not cower before the stages of men. If God does not condemn you, you are not condemned even if men convict you in their courts.
Deuteronomy 1:17
Ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God’s.
If you have God's favor, you can face down anyone.
Proverbs 29:25
The fear of man bringeth a snare:
but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.
There is no safety in the asylum of men.
Acts 24:16
Herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void to offence toward God, and toward men.
A clean conscience need not cower. It can stand in the presence of God and stand up to the presence of godless men.
