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.
