Matthew 10:27-29
New King James Version
Jesus Teaches the Fear of God(A)
27 “Whatever I tell you in the dark, (B)speak in the light; and what you hear in the ear, preach on the housetops. 28 (C)And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather (D)fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in [a]hell. 29 Are not two (E)sparrows sold for a [b]copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will.
