Matthew 10:26-33
New American Standard Bible
26 “So do not (A)fear them, (B)for there is nothing concealed that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. 27 (C)What I tell you in the darkness, tell in the light; and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim (D)on the housetops. 28 And do not be afraid of 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 two sparrows not sold for an [b]assarion? And yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. 30 But (H)even the hairs of your head are all counted. 31 So do not fear; (I)you are more valuable than a great number of sparrows.
32 “Therefore, (J)everyone who [c]confesses Me before people, I will also confess [d]him before My Father who is in heaven. 33 But (K)whoever denies Me before people, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven.

Whom to Fear
26 “So have no fear of them, for nothing is covered up that will not be uncovered and nothing secret that will not become known.(A) 27 What I say to you in the dark, tell in the light, and what you hear whispered, proclaim from the housetops. 28 Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather, fear the one who can destroy both soul and body in hell.[a] 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. 30 And even the hairs of your head are all counted.(B) 31 So do not be afraid; you are of more value than many sparrows.
32 “Everyone, therefore, who acknowledges me before others, I also will acknowledge before my Father in heaven,(C) 33 but whoever denies me before others, I also will deny before my Father in heaven.
