26 “Therefore do not (A)fear them, (B)for there is nothing concealed that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. 27 (C)What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim (D)upon the housetops. 28 Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather (E)fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in (a)(F)hell. 29 (G)Are not two sparrows sold for a (b)cent? And yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. 30 But (H)the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 So do not fear; (I)you are more valuable than many sparrows.
32 “Therefore (J)everyone who (c)confesses Me before men, I will also confess (d)him before My Father who is in heaven. 33 But (K)whoever (e)denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven.
