New American Standard Bible 1995
Luke 12:2-13
21But there is nothingG3762 coveredG4780 up that will not be revealedG601, and hiddenG2927 that will not be knownG1097. 3AccordinglyG473, whateverG3745 you have saidG3004 in the darkG4653 will be heardG191 in the lightG5457, and whatG3739 you have 2whisperedG2980G4314G3775 in the innerG5009 roomsG5009 will be proclaimedG2784 upon 3the housetopsG1430.
4“I sayG3004 to you, 4My friendsG5384, do not be afraidG5399 of thoseG3588 who killG615 the bodyG4983 and afterG3326 that haveG2192 noG3361G5100 moreG4057 that they can doG4160. 5But I will 5warnG5263 you whomG5101 to fearG5399: 6fearG5399 the One who, afterG3326 He has killedG615, hasG2192 authorityG1849 to castG1685 into 78hellG1067; yesG3483, I tellG3004 you, fearG5399 Him! 6Are not 9fiveG4002 sparrowsG4765 soldG4453 for twoG1417 10centsG787? Yet not oneG1520 of them is forgottenG1950 beforeG1799 GodG2316. 711IndeedG235G2532, the veryG2532 hairsG2359 of your headG2776 are allG3956 numberedG705. Do not fearG5399; you are moreG1308 valuableG1308 than manyG4183 sparrowsG4765.
8“And I sayG3004 to you, everyoneG3956 whoG3739 12confessesG3670 Me beforeG1715 menG444, the SonG5207 of ManG444 will confessG3670 him alsoG2532 beforeG1715 the angelsG32 of GodG2316; 9but 13he who deniesG720 Me beforeG1715 menG444 will be deniedG533 14beforeG1715 the angelsG32 of GodG2316. 1015And everyoneG3956 whoG3739 16speaksG3004 a wordG3056 againstG1519 the SonG5207 of ManG444, it will be forgivenG863 him; but he who blasphemesG987 againstG1519 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151, it will not be forgivenG863 him. 11WhenG3752 they bringG1533 you beforeG1909 17the synagoguesG4864 and the rulersG746 and the authoritiesG1849, do not 18worryG3309 about howG4459 orG2228 whatG5101 you are to speakG626 in your defenseG626, orG2228 whatG5101 you are to sayG3004; 12for 19the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 will teachG1321 you in that veryG846 hourG5610 whatG3739 you oughtG1163 to sayG3004.”
13SomeoneG5100 20in the crowdG3793 saidG3004 to Him, “TeacherG1320, tellG3004 my brotherG80 to divideG3307 the family inheritanceG2817 with me.”
