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.

Matthew 10:26-33
American Standard Version
26 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known. 27 What I tell you in the darkness, speak ye in the light; and what ye hear in the ear, proclaim upon the house-tops. 28 And be not afraid of them that kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in [a]hell. 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? and not one of them shall fall on the ground without your Father: 30 but the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows. 32 Every one therefore who shall confess [b]me before men, [c]him will I also confess before my Father who is in heaven. 33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father who is in heaven.
