3 Therefore, whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness, shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets, shall be proclaimed upon the house-tops.
4 And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do;
5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear; fear him, who after he hath killed, hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.

9 But he who denieth me before men, shall be denied before the angels of God.
