Matthew 10:26-33

26“So do not 1fear them, 2for there is nothing concealed that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. 27 3What I tell you in the darkness, tell in the light; and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim 4on the housetops. 28And do not be afraid of those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather 5fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in 6 7hell. 29 8Are two sparrows not sold for an 9assarion? And yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. 30But 10even the hairs of your head are all counted. 31So do not fear; 11you are more valuable than a great number of sparrows.

32“Therefore, 12everyone who 13confesses Me before people, I will also confess 14him before My Father who is in heaven. 33But 15whoever denies Me before people, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven.
