Matthew 10:28
And 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.
अध्ययन टिप्पणी
Study Note
Jesus's exhortation 'fear not those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul' presupposes an anthropology in which physical death does not terminate personal existence — a significant datum for the New Testament's understanding of body, soul, and eschatological continuity. The contrasting fear — 'rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell (Gehenna)' — identifies a greater danger than martyrdom, embedding courage in an eschatological framework. The verse belongs to the Missionary Discourse (Matthew 10) and addresses communities facing potential persecution for proclaiming Jesus, situating martyrological courage as a discipleship virtue. The distinction between what humans can and cannot harm anticipates patristic martyr theology, where the body is surrendered precisely because the soul is held by God.
