28 And (A)do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him (B)who can destroy both soul and body in hell.[a] 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny?[b] And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. 30 But (C)even the hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 Fear not, therefore; (D)you are of more value than many sparrows. 32 (E)So everyone who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven, 33 but (F)whoever denies me before men, (G)I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven.
