Matthew 10:26-33 - Fear God Rather Than People

²⁶ Therefore fear them not; for nothing has been covered, which shall not be revealed; and concealed, that shall not be known. ²⁷ What I say to you in darkness, speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, proclaim upon the houses. ²⁸ And fear not from those killing the body, and not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him able to destroy also soul and body in hell. ²⁹ Are not two little sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall to the earth without your Father. ³⁰ And also the hairs of your head are all numbered. ³¹ Fear not therefore; ye have the preeminence over many sparrows.

³² Every one therefore who shall agree with me before men, I also will agree with him before my Father, him in the heavens. ³³ But whoever should deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father, him in the heavens.

⁴ And I say to you my friends, Be not afraid of those killing the body, and after these not having anything remaining to do. ⁵ And I will shew you whom ye should fear: Fear him having power, after killing, to cast into hell; yea, I say to you, Fear him. ⁶ Are not five little sparrows sold for two small coins, and one of them is not forgotten before God? ⁷ But also the hairs of your head were all numbered. Therefore fear not: ye have the preeminence over many little sparrows.
