Matthew 10 :28-31
KJV—Fear not them which kill the body, but
are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him
which is able to destroy both soul and body in
hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing?
and one of them shall not fall on the ground
without your Father. But the very hairs of your
head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore,
ye are of more value than many sparrows.
AMP—Do not be afraid of those who kill
the body but cannot kill the soul; but rather
be afraid of Him who can destroy both soul
and body in hell (Gehenna). Are not two little
sparrows sold for a penny? And yet not one
of them will fall to the ground without your
Father’s leave (consent) and notice. But even
the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
Fear not, then; you are of more value than
many sparrows.
Weymouth—Do not fear those who kill the
body, but cannot kill the soul; rather fear Him
who is able to destroy both soul and body in
Gehenna. Do not two sparrows sell for a half
penny? Yet not one of them falls to the ground
without your Father’s leave. But as for you, the
very hairs on your heads are all numbered.
Away then with fear; you are more precious
than a multitude of sparrows.
NIV—Do not be afraid of those who kill the
body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid
of the One who can destroy both soul and
body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for
a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the
ground apart from the will of your Father.
And even the very hairs of your head are all
numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are worth
more than many sparrows.
Matthew 24:4-6
KJV—Jesus answered and said unto them, Take
heed that no man deceive you. For many shall
come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall
deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and
rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled:
for all these things must come to pass, but the
end is not yet.
AMP—Jesus answered them, Be careful that
no one misleads you [deceiving you and
leading you into error]. For many will come in
(on the strength of) My name [appropriating
the name which belongs to Me], saying, I am the
Christ (the Messiah), and they will lead many
astray. And you will hear of wars and rumors
of wars; see that you are not frightened or
troubled, for this must take place, but the end
is not yet.
Weymouth—“Take care that no one misleads
you,” answered Jesus; “for many will come
assuming my name and saying, ‘I am the
Christ’; and they will mislead many. And you
are to hear of wars and rumors of wars. See
that you be not alarmed, for such things must
be; but the end is not yet.”
NIV—Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one
deceives you. For many will come in my name,
claiming, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive
many. You will hear of wars and rumors of
wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed.
Such things must happen, but the end is still
to come.”
