Matthew 10:26-31

Fear God

26 "Therefore, don't be afraid of them, since there is nothing covered that won't be uncovered, and nothing hidden that won't be made known.

27 What I tell you in the dark, speak in the light. What you hear in a whisper, ^[a] proclaim on the housetops.

28 Don't fear those who kill the body but are not able to kill the soul; rather, fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

29 Aren't two sparrows sold for a penny? ^[b] Yet not one of them falls to the ground without your Father's consent. ^[c]

30 But even the hairs of your head have all been counted.

31 Don't be afraid therefore; you are worth more than many sparrows.
