26Feare them not therefore: for there is nothing couered, that shall not be reueiled; and hidde, that shall not be knowen. 27What I tell you in darkenesse, that speake yee in light: and what yee heare in the eare, that preach yee vpon the house tops. 28And feare not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soule: but rather feare him which is able to destroy both soule and body in hell. 29Are not two Sparrowes solde for a farthing? And one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. 30But the very haires of your head are all numbred.

10:28 And be not afraid - of any thing which ye may suffer for proclaiming it. Be afraid of him who is able to destroy both body and soul in hell - It is remarkable, that our Lord commands those who love God, still to fear him, even on this account, under this notion.
People's Bible Notes for Matthew 10:28
Mt 10:28 Fear not them. Of men, who can only destroy the body, but cannot harm the soul. But rather fear him, etc. Fear God, who can condemn the soul to banishment. The command is to fear not the displeasure of man, but that of God. In hell. See PNT "Mt 5:22". The word in the Greek is "Gehenna", not "hades".
