Matthew 10:28-33

28Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; but rather be afraid of Him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

29Are not two little sparrows sold for a copper coin? And yet not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will.

30But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered [for the Father is sovereign and has complete knowledge].

31So do not fear; you are more valuable than many sparrows.

32“Therefore, the one who confesses and acknowledges Me before men [as Lord and Savior, affirming a state of oneness with Me], that one I will also confess and acknowledge before My Father who is in heaven.

33But the one who denies and rejects Me before men, that one I will also deny and reject before My Father who is in heaven.
