The Holy Bible, English Standard Version

Matthew 10:28-31
<< Matthew 9 | Matthew 10 | Matthew 11 >>

28 And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell. [1] 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? [2] And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. 30 But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.
