  To His saying, "So do not fear them, but fear Me if you are believers."

  تَخَافُونَهُمْ — you fear them. A present-tense verb shaped for a 'you (plural)' subject with a 'them' object pronoun fused on, so it means 'you fear them'. Standing under the preceding negation it becomes the forbidden act, 'do not fear them'. Subject and object are both folded into the one verb.
