⁹ But he who ^(A)denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.

^26 (A)For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, of him the Son of Man will be ^(B)ashamed when He comes in His own glory, and in His Father’s, and of the holy angels.

^38 (A)For whoever ^(B)is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.”

^33 (A)But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven.

^8 (A)“I know your works. See, I have set before you ^(B)an open door, ^[a]and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name.

²³ And ^(A)then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; ^(B)depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

^23 (A)Whoever denies the Son does not have the ^(B)Father either; ^(C)he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.

¹² But he answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, ^(A)I do not know you.’

The Children of God

²⁸ And now, little children, abide in Him, that ^[a]when He appears, we may have ^(A)confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming.
