Matthew 10:28: Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the one who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
The disciples of Jesus must not fear those who can kill only their physical bodies; rather they must fear (reverence) God who, if he so please, can destroy both soul (the real self) and body in Gehenna. The verb apollumai, translated “destroy,” means “to ruin” through destruction rather than to annihilate; thus Jesus is giving a warning of the consequence of not obeying God.
