2 Everything that is hidden will be found out, and every secret will be known.
3 Whatever you say in the dark will be heard when it is day. Whatever you whisper in a closed room will be shouted from the housetops.
4 My friends, don't be afraid of people. They can kill you, but after that, there is nothing else they can do.
5 God is the one you must fear. Not only can he take your life, but he can throw you into hell. God is certainly the one you should fear!
6 Five sparrows are sold for just two pennies, but God doesn't forget a single one of them.
7 Even the hairs on your head are counted. So don't be afraid! You are worth much more than many sparrows.
8 If you tell others that you belong to me, the Son of Man will tell God's angels that you are my followers.
