Matthew 10:24-34 (New Living Translation)
View In My Bible
24
"A student is not greater than the teacher. A servant is not greater than the master.
25
The student shares the teacher's fate. The servant shares the master's fate. And since I, the master of the household, have been called the prince of demons, a how much more will it happen to you, the members of the household!
26
But don't be afraid of those who threaten you. For the time is coming when everything will be revealed; all that is secret will be made public.
27
What I tell you now in the darkness, shout abroad when daybreak comes. What I whisper in your ears, shout from the housetops for all to hear!
28
"Don't be afraid of those who want to kill you. They can only kill your body; they cannot touch your soul. Fear only God, who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
29
Not even a sparrow, worth only half a penny, can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it.
30
And the very hairs on your head are all numbered.
31
So don't be afraid; you are more valuable to him than a whole flock of sparrows.
32
"If anyone acknowledges me publicly here on earth, I will openly acknowledge that person before my Father in heaven.
33
But if anyone denies me here on earth, I will deny that person before my Father in heaven.
34
"Don't imagine that I came to bring peace to the earth! No, I came to bring a sword.
