Luke 12:2-9

2But there is nothing [so carefully] concealed that it will not be revealed, nor so hidden that it will not be made known.

3For that reason, whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered behind closed doors will be proclaimed on the housetops.

4“I say to you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that have nothing more that they can do.

5But I will point out to you whom you should fear: fear the One who, after He has killed, has authority and power to hurl [you] into hell; yes, I say to you, [stand in great awe of God and] fear Him!

6Are not five sparrows sold for two copper coins? Yet not one of them has [ever] been forgotten in the presence of God.

7Indeed the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not be afraid; you are far more valuable than many sparrows.

8“I say to you, whoever declares openly and confesses Me before men [speaking freely of Me as his Lord], the Son of Man also will declare openly and confess him [as one of His own] before the angels of God.

9But he who denies Me before men will be denied in the presence of the angels of God.
