Matthew 10:16-33

Do not fear this dangerous calling for God is with you.

"Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves...A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master...Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows. So everyone who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven," Matthew 10:16, 24, 31-32
