Matthew 10:26-33
New International Version
26 “So do not be afraid of them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known.(A) 27 What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs. 28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One(B) who can destroy both soul and body in hell. 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care.[a] 30 And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.(C) 31 So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.(D)
32 “Whoever acknowledges me before others,(E) I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. 33 But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven.(F)

But rather (E)fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in [a]hell. 29 Are not two (F)sparrows sold for a [b]copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will. 30 (G)But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.
