Matthew 10:27-33

27What I tell you now in the darkness, shout abroad when daybreak comes. What I whisper in your ear, shout from the housetops for all to hear!

28“Don’t be afraid of those who want to kill your body; they cannot touch your soul. Fear only God, who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

29What is the price of two sparrows—one copper coin? But not a single sparrow can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it.

30And the very hairs on your head are all numbered.

31So don’t be afraid; you are more valuable to God than a whole flock of sparrows.

32“Everyone who acknowledges me publicly here on earth, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven.

33But everyone who denies me here on earth, I will also deny before my Father in heaven.
