Luke 12:4-9

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁴ “I say to you, ^(A)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 ^[a]warn you whom to fear: ^(B)fear the One who, after He has killed, has authority to cast into ^[b](C)hell; yes, I tell you, fear Him! ⁶ Are not ^(D)five sparrows sold for two ^[c]cents? Yet not one of them is forgotten before God. ^7 (E)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 ^(F)confesses Me before men, the Son of Man will confess him also before the angels of God; ⁹ but ^(G)he who denies Me before men will be denied ^(H)before the angels of God.
