‏ Matthew 10:32-33

Shall confess me ( ομολογησε εν εμο ). An Aramaic idiom, not Hebrew, see also Lu 12:8. So also here, "him will I also confess" ( ομολογησω κ'αγω εν αυτω ). Literally this Aramaic idiom reproduced in the Greek means "confess in me," indicating a sense of unity with Christ and of Christ with the man who takes the open stand for him.

Shall deny me ( αρνησητα με ). Aorist subjunctive here with οστις, though future indicative ομολογησε above. Note accusative here (case of extension), saying "no" to Christ, complete breach. This is a solemn law, not a mere social breach, this cleavage by Christ of the man who repudiates him, public and final.
