Mostly is has to do with the era of translation. The Bible was been around for centuries, so many older translations of the word exist. 'Be not afraid' was the KJV version.

 In the modern age such words may be deemed off-putting. The original Greek translation (the Codex Sinaiticus) seems a bit less formal.
