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.

Breakdown

A soul cannot be destroyed as each spirit is a part of the most high (Hebrews 12:9). What this verse is really saying is fear him that can kill you in this life and then judge you and make you go through hell in your next life (Hebrews 9:27).
