- There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known.
- What you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the roofs.
- "I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more.
- But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after the killing of the body, has power to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him.

- "But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known.
- "Accordingly, whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed upon the housetops.
- "I say to you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that have no more that they can do.
- "But I will warn you whom to fear: fear the One who, after He has killed, has authority to cast into hell; yes, I tell you, fear Him!
