Fear God, Not Man

10:26 “Do47 not be afraid of them, for nothing is hidden48 that will not be revealed,49 and nothing is secret that will not be made known. 10:27 What I say to you in the dark, tell in the light, and what is whispered in your ear,50 proclaim from the housetops.51 10:28 Do52 not be afraid of those who kill the body53 but cannot kill the soul. Instead, fear the one who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.54 10:29 Aren’t two sparrows sold for a penny?55 Yet not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will.56 10:30 Even all the hairs on your head are numbered. 10:31 So do not be afraid;57 you are more valuable than many sparrows.

10:32 “Whoever, then, acknowledges58 me before people, I will acknowledge59 before my Father in heaven. 10:33 But whoever denies me before people, I will deny him also before my Father in heaven.
