Matt 10:28-33
At that time: Jesus said unto his disciples: 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. And so forth.
A Homily by St. Irenaeus the Bishop and Martyr
Lib. 3 adversus Haereses cap. 18, alias 20, num. 5-6
The Lord knew both those who would suffer persecution; and he knew those who would be scourged and slain for his sake. His words are indeed those of exhortation: Fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. Rather fear him which hath power to cast both body and soul into hell, and to preserve whomsoever should confess him. For indeed he hath promised to confess before his Father those who should confess his name before men; and to deny those who should deny him, and to be ashamed of those who should be ashamed to confess him. Yet for all this, some have gone so far in audacity, as to scorn even the Martyrs, and to revile those who have been put to death for confessing the Lord, and who endure all that the Lord foretold, and so far endeavour to follow in the footsteps of the Lord's Passion, being made Martyrs of one who was capable of suffering; but these we leave to the Martyrs themselves. For when their blood shall be required, and they shall obtain glory, then all those who have dishonoured their martyrdom will be put to confusion by Christ.
