²⁶ “Therefore do not ^(A)fear them, ^(B)for there is nothing concealed that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known. ^27 (C)What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim ^(D)upon the housetops. ²⁸ And do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather ^(E)fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in ^[a](F)hell. ^29 (G)Are not two sparrows sold for an ^[b]assarion? And yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. ³⁰ But ^(H)the very hairs of your head are all numbered. ³¹ So do not fear; ^(I)you are more valuable than many sparrows.

³² “Therefore ^(J)everyone who ^[c]confesses Me before men, I will also confess ^[d]him before My Father who is in heaven. ³³ But ^(K)whoever ^[e]denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven.

^2 (A)But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known. ³ Accordingly, whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have ^[a]whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed upon ^(B)the housetops.

⁴ “But I say to you, ^(C)My friends, do not fear those who kill the body and after that have no more that they can do. ⁵ But I will show you whom to fear: ^(D)fear the One who, after He has killed, has authority to cast into ^[b](E)hell; yes, I tell you, fear Him! ⁶ Are not ^(F)five sparrows sold for two ^[c]assaria? Yet not one of them is forgotten before God. ^7 (G)Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear; you are more valuable than many sparrows.

Blasphemy Against the Holy Spirit

⁸ “And I say to you, everyone who ^(H)confesses Me before men, the Son of Man will confess him also before the angels of God, ⁹ but ^(I)he who denies Me before men will be denied ^(J)before the angels of God.
