have some fear of God!


Explanation:
Bu şekilde de kullanılabilir... "Allahtan kork biraz, Allahtan!'' için "have some fear of God, a little bit!" şeklinde olması kulağa iyi geliyor. İngilizce konuşan ülkelerde God yerine Allah kullanımının yaygın olduğunu zannetmiyorum.

Example sentence(s):
  • The True Fear of God
  • Fear of God
