2. Matthew 10:26-31
26 "Therefore, don't be afraid of
them, since there is nothing
covered that won't be
uncovered, and nothing
hidden that won't be made
known.
27 What I tell you in the dark,
speak in the light. What you
hear in a whisper, proclaim on
the housetops.
3. Matthew 10:26-31
28 Don't fear those who kill the
body but are not able to kill the
soul; rather, fear Him who is
able to destroy both soul and
body in hell.
29 Aren't two sparrows sold for a
penny? Yet not one of them
falls to the ground without
your Father's consent.
4. Matthew 10:26-31
30 But even the hairs of your
head have all been counted.
31 Don't be afraid therefore; you
are worth more than many
sparrows.

11 Then I saw a great white throne and One
seated on it. Earth and heaven fled from His
presence, and no place was found for them. 12 I
also saw the dead, the great and the small,
standing before the throne, and books were
opened. Another book was opened, which is the
book of life, and the dead were judged
according to their works by what was written in
the books. 13 Then the sea gave up its dead,
and Death and Hades gave up their dead; all
were judged according to their works. 14 Death
and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This
is the second death, the lake of fire.

12 For the word of God is living and effective
and sharper than any two-edged sword,
penetrating as far as to divide soul, spirit,
joints, and marrow; it is a judge of the ideas
and thoughts of the heart.
13 No creature is hidden from Him, but all
things are naked and exposed to the eyes of
Him to whom we must give an account.

9 I, John, your brother and partner in the
tribulation, kingdom, and perseverance in
Jesus, was on the island called Patmos
because of God's word and the testimony
about Jesus. 10 I was in the Spirit on the
Lord's day, and I heard behind me a loud
voice like a trumpet 11 saying, "Write on a
scroll what you see and send it to the seven
churches: Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum,
Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and
Laodicea."

12 I turned to see the voice that was speaking to
me. When I turned I saw seven gold lamp
stands, 13 and among the lamp stands was One
like the Son of Man, dressed in a long robe, and
with a gold sash wrapped around His chest. 14
His head and hair were white like wool—white as
snow, His eyes like a fiery flame, 15 His feet like
fine bronze fired in a furnace, and His voice like
the sound of cascading waters. 16 In His right
hand He had seven stars; from His mouth came
a sharp two-edged sword; and His face was
shining like the sun at midday.

6 But Peter said, "I have neither silver
nor gold, but what I have, I give to you:
In the name of Jesus Christ the
Nazarene, get up and walk!"
7 Then, taking him by the right hand he
raised him up, and at once his feet and
ankles became strong.

1 For you yourselves know, brothers,
that our visit with you was not without
result. 2 On the contrary, after we had
previously suffered and been
outrageously treated in Philippi, as you
know, we were emboldened by our God
to speak the gospel of God to you in
spite of great opposition.

3 For our exhortation didn't come from
error or impurity or an intent to deceive.
4 Instead, just as we have been
approved by God to be entrusted with
the gospel, so we speak, not to please
men, but rather God, who examines
our hearts.
