But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father who is in heaven.
All Commentaries on Matthew 10:33 Go To Matthew 10
Remigius of Rheims
AD 533
Here is to be understood that confession of which the Apostle speaks, “With the heart men believe unto justification, with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” That none therefore might suppose that he could besaved without confession of the mouth, He says not only, “He that shall confess me,” but adds, “before me;” and again, “He that shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.”.
And thus He will deny the man that hath denied Him, in that he shall not have access to the Father through Him, and shall be banished from seeing either the Son of the Father in their divine nature.
