The words "fear" and "trembling" mean basically the same thing. Paul uses them to emphasize reverence before God. AT: "trembling with fear" or "with deep reverence" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet]])
# both to will and to work
"God acts so that you will desire to obey him and then so that you will obey him"
