Matthew 10:24-36

24“1A 2discipleG3101 is not aboveG5228 his teacherG1320, norG3761 a slaveG1401 aboveG5228 his masterG2962. 25It is enoughG713 for the discipleG3101 that he may becomeG1096 likeG5613 his teacherG1320, and the slaveG1401 likeG5613 his masterG2962. 3IfG1487 they have calledG1941 the headG3617 ofG3617 theG3617 houseG3617 4 5BeelzebulG954, howG4214 muchG4214 moreG3123 will they insult the membersG3615 ofG3615 his householdG3615!

26“SoG3767 do not 6fearG5399 them, 7for there is nothingG3762 concealedG2572 that will not be revealedG601, orG2532 hiddenG2927 that will not be knownG1097. 27 8WhatG3739 I tellG3004 you in the darknessG4653, tellG3004 in the lightG5457; and whatG3739 you hearG191 whispered in your earG3775, proclaimG2784 9on the housetopsG1430 G1909. 28And do not beG5399 afraidG5399 of thoseG3588 who killG615 the bodyG4983 but are unableG3361 G1410 to killG615 the soulG5590; but ratherG3123 10fearG5399 Him who is ableG1410 to destroyG622 bothG2532 soulG5590 and bodyG4983 in 11 12hellG1067. 29 13Are twoG1417 sparrowsG4765 not soldG4453 for an 14assarionG787? And yet not oneG1520 of them will fallG4098 to the groundG1093 apartG427 from your FatherG3962. 30But 15evenG2532 the hairsG2359 of your headG2776 are allG3956 countedG705. 31SoG3767 do not fearG5399; 16you are moreG1308 valuableG1308 than a greatG4183 numberG4183 of sparrowsG4765.

32“ThereforeG3767, 17everyoneG3956 whoG3748 18confessesG3670 Me beforeG1715 peopleG444, I will alsoG2532 confessG3670 19him beforeG1715 My FatherG3962 who is in heavenG3772. 33But 20whoeverG3748 G302 deniesG720 Me beforeG1715 peopleG444, I will alsoG2532 denyG720 him beforeG1715 My FatherG3962 who is in heavenG3772.

34“21Do not thinkG3543 that I cameG2064 to 22bringG906 peaceG1515 on the earthG1093; I did not comeG2064 to 23bringG906 peaceG1515, but a swordG3162. 35For I cameG2064 to 24turnG1369 a manG444 againstG2596 his fatherG3962, and a daughterG2364 againstG2596 her motherG3384, and a daughter-in-lawG3565 againstG2596 her mother-in-lawG3994; 36and 25a person’sG444 enemiesG2190 will be the membersG3615 of his householdG3615.
