The combination can be found several times in the NT. In 2 Cor 7: 15 and
Phil 2: 12 one can conclude that FOBOS and TROMOS are expected in a
situation where obedience and responsability are normal. We have to forget
all notions of democracy of course.
But in Ps 2: 11 one can see that such a situation does not exclude joy.
Other questions are of course: what does KATEGAZESQAI mean (to polish up
what you already possess? to try to gain?) and what does SWTHRIA mean (I
remember a word study - not published - by Dr. Theo Kunst who concluded that
in the NT SWTHRIA means eschatological salvation, not salvation by
conversion).
