τοῦ ἐν οὐρανοῖς
the who_‹is› in /the/_heavens
Here, the phrase in the heavens identifies the location in which God the Father is specially present and from which he rules. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [who is in the heavens]
10:32-33 God accepts the one who acknowledges Jesus publicly in the context of trial and persecution (10:16-25). These verses pertain to a person’s pattern of life (see 7:13-27) and not to a single confession or a single denial. For example, Judas acknowledged Jesus in individual instances yet was damned (26:23-24), whereas Peter denied Jesus (see 26:69-75) yet was saved.

OET (OET-RV) but anyone who disowns me in front of others, then I will also disown them in front of my father who is in the heavens.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
