Luke 12:2-9

New American Standard Bible 1995

^2 (A)But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known. ³ Accordingly, whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have ^[a]whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed upon ^(B)the housetops.

⁴ “I say to you, ^(C)My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that have no more that they can do. ⁵ But I will ^[b]warn you whom to fear: ^(D)fear the One who, after He has killed, has authority to cast into ^[c](E)hell; yes, I tell you, fear Him! ⁶ Are not ^(F)five sparrows sold for two ^[d]cents? Yet not one of them is forgotten before God. ^7 (G)Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear; you are more valuable than many sparrows.

⁸ “And I say to you, everyone who ^(H)confesses Me before men, the Son of Man will confess him also before the angels of God; ⁹ but ^(I)he who denies Me before men will be denied ^(J)before the angels of God.
