Old Testament

New Testament

Matthew 10:24-35 God's Word Translation (GW)

24. “A student is not better than his teacher. Nor is a slave better than his owner.

25. It is enough for a student to become like his teacher and a slave like his owner. If they have called the owner of the house Beelzebul, they will certainly call the family members the same name.

26. So don’t be afraid of them. Nothing has been covered that will not be exposed. Whatever is secret will be made known.

27. Tell in the daylight what I say to you in the dark. Shout from the housetops what you hear whispered.

28. Don’t be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Instead, fear the one who can destroy both body and soul in hell.

29. “Aren’t two sparrows sold for a penny? Not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father’s permission.

30. Every hair on your head has been counted.

31. Don’t be afraid! You are worth more than many sparrows.

32. “So I will acknowledge in front of my Father in heaven that person who acknowledges me in front of others.

33. But I will tell my Father in heaven that I don’t know the person who tells others that he doesn’t know me.

34. “Don’t think that I came to bring peace to earth. I didn’t come to bring peace but conflict.

35. I came to turn a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
