New American Standard Bible 1995
Luke 12:2-12
21But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known. 3Accordingly, whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have 2whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed upon 3the housetops.
4“I say to you, 4My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that have no more that they can do. 5But I will 5warn you whom to fear: 6fear the One who, after He has killed, has authority to cast into 78hell; yes, I tell you, fear Him! 6Are not 9five sparrows sold for two 10cents? Yet not one of them is forgotten before God. 711Indeed, 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 12confesses Me before men, the Son of Man will confess him also before the angels of God; 9but 13he who denies Me before men will be denied 14before the angels of God. 1015And everyone who 16speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him. 11When they bring you before 17the synagogues and the rulers and the authorities, do not 18worry about how or what you are to speak in your defense, or what you are to say; 12for 19the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say.”
