“Fear no one.

Nothing is concealed that will not be revealed,

   nor secret that will not be known.

What I say to you in the darkness, speak in the light;

   what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops.

And do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul;

   rather, be afraid of the one who can destroy

   both soul and body in Gehenna.

Are not two sparrows sold for a small coin?

Yet not one of them falls to the ground without your Father’s knowledge.

Even all the hairs of your head are counted.

So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

Everyone who acknowledges me before others

   I will acknowledge before my heavenly Father.

But whoever denies me before others,

   I will deny before my heavenly Father.”
