Matthew 10:24–33

^24j“A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master. ²⁵It is enough for a disciple that he be like his teacher, and a servant like his master. If ^kthey have called the master of the house ⁷Beelzebub, how much more will they call those of his household! ²⁶Therefore do not fear them. ^lFor there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known.

²⁷“Whatever I tell you in the dark, ^mspeak in the light; and what you hear in the ear, preach on the housetops. ²⁸ⁿAnd do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather ^ofear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in ⁸hell. ²⁹Are not two ^psparrows sold for a ⁹copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will. ^30qBut the very hairs of your head are all numbered. ³¹Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.

^32r“Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, ^shim I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven. ^33tBut whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven.
