24 What I tell you in darkness, preach ye in light; and what ye hear in the ear, preach ye upon the housetops.
25 And fear not them who are able to kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul; but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
26 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? And one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father knoweth it.
27 And the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not, therefore; ye are of more value than many sparrows.
28 Whosoever, therefore, shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father who is in heaven.
29 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father who is in heaven.
30 Think not, that I am come to send peace on earth; I came not to send peace, but a sword.
31 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
32 He who loveth father and mother more than me, is not worthy of me; and he who loveth son or daughter more than me, is not worthy of me.
33 And he who taketh not his cross and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.
34 He who seeketh to save his life shall lose it; and he who loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
