Matthew 10:32-33 Therefore, every person who acknowledges me in front of people i.e., to be their Lord and Christ, I will acknowledge him i.e., to be my disciple in front of my Father in heaven.

AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ³² Therefore, every person who acknowledges me in front of people [i.e., to be their Lord and Christ], I will acknowledge him [i.e., to be my disciple] in front of my Father in heaven. ³³ But whoever disowns me in front of people [i.e., denies that I am the Christ, or that he is a disciple. See John 18:15-17, 25-27], I will disown him in front of my Father in heaven.
