“There are three forms of fear: some fear  God because they are afraid they will lose life and property; some fear the Lord because they are afraid to lose their share in the World-to-Come.  These two forms are imperfect.  The perfect form is to fear the Lord because he is the Master and the Ruler, and deserves obedience.”  (Talmud, Tikkune Zohar, Hakdamah, 11b)
