Matthew 10:26-33
Wycliffe Bible
26 Therefore dread ye not them; for nothing is hid [for nothing is covered, or hid], that shall not be showed; and nothing is privy, that shall not be known.
27 That thing that I say to you in darknesses, say ye in the light; and preach ye on houses [and preach ye upon roofs], that thing that ye hear in the ear.
28 And do not ye dread them that slay the body; for they be not able to slay the soul; but rather dread ye him, that be able to destroy both soul and body into hell. [And do not ye dread them that slay the body; truly they be not able to slay the soul; but rather dread ye him, that be able to lose both soul and body into hell.]
29 Whether two sparrows be not sold for an halfpenny? and one of them shall not fall on the earth without your Father.
30 And all the hairs of your head be numbered.
31 Therefore do not ye dread; ye be better than many sparrows.
32 Therefore every man that shall acknowledge me before men, [and] I shall acknowledge him before my Father that is in heavens.
33 But he that shall deny me before men, and I shall deny him before my Father that is in heavens [and I shall deny him before my Father which is in heavens].

Matthew 10:26-33
New Matthew Bible
26 Fear them not therefore. There is nothing so closed that it will not be opened, and nothing so hid that it will not be known.
27 What I tell you in darkness, that speak in light. And what you hear in the ear, that preach on the house tops. 28 And fear not those who kill the body, and are not able to kill the soul. But rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body into hell. 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And yet none of them lights on the ground without your Father. 30 And now all the hairs of your heads are numbered. 31 Fear not therefore: you are of more value than many sparrows.
32 Whosoever therefore acknowledges me before men, him will I acknowledge also before my Father who is in heaven. 33 But whosoever denies me before men, him will I also deny before my Father who is in heaven.

29 Are not two sparrows sold for a [d]farthing, and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father?
30 (B)Yea, and all the hairs of your head are numbered.
