Fear God Rather Than People

26 If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more them of his houshold? Therefore fear them not; for there is nothing covered, that shall not be discovered; nor hid, that shall not be known. 27 What I tell you in darkness, speak ye in the light; and what ye hear in the ear, proclaim on the house-tops. 28 And be not afraid of them who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul; but rather be afraid of him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
