Matthew 10:24–33

²⁴The disciple is not above his teacher, nor the bondman above his lord. ²⁵It is sufficient for the disciple that he should become as his teacher, and the bondman as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more those of his household? ²⁶Fear them not therefore; for there is nothing covered which shall not be revealed, and secret which shall not be known. ²⁷What I say to you in darkness speak in the light, and what ye hear in the ear preach upon the houses. ²⁸And be not afraid of those who kill the body, but cannot kill the soul; but fear rather him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. ²⁹Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall to the ground without your Father; ³⁰but of you even the hairs of the head are all numbered. ³¹Fear not therefore; ye are better than many sparrows. ³²Every one therefore who shall confess me before men, I also will confess him before my Father who is in the heavens. ³³But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father who is in the heavens.
