New Testament

Mattityahu 10:26-35 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

26. Therefore, do not fear them; for nothing has been veiled which will not be unveiled; and nothing has been nistar (hidden) which will not be made known.

27. What I say to you in the choshech (darkness), you declare in the ohr (light); and what you hear whispered into your ears, shout, preach, from the rooftops.

28. And do not fear those who kill the basar (flesh), but are unable to kill the nefesh (soul); but rather fear the One who is able to destroy both basar and nefesh in Gehinnom.

29. Are not two sparrows sold for the least valuable copper coin? And yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from Avichem!

30. But, as far as you are concerned, even the hairs of your rosh have been inventoried.

31. Therefore, al taarotz (do not be afraid)! You are of more value than many sparrows!

32. Therefore, everyone who shall declare publicly the Ani Maamin hoda'ah of me [as Moshiach], before Bnei HaAdam, I will make hoda'ah (acknowledgment) of him before Avi shbaShomayim.

33. But everyone who makes hakhchashah (denial) of me [as Moshiach], I also will make hakhchashah (denial) of him before Avi shbaShomayim.

34. Do not think that I have come to bring shalom al haaretz (peace on the earth); I have not come to bring shalom but a cherev (sword).

35. For I came to divide a man against his Av, and a bat against her Em, and a kallah (bride) against her chamot (mother-in-law, shviger).
