Luke 12:1-9

1Under these circumstances, after 1so many thousands of 2people had gathered together that they were stepping on one another, He began saying to His disciples first of all, “3Beware of the 4leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. 25But 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 6whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed on 7the housetops.

4“Now I say to you, 8My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have nothing more that they can do. 5But I will warn you whom to fear: 9fear the One who, after He has killed someone, has the power to throw that person into 1011hell; yes, I tell you, fear 12Him! 6Are 13five sparrows not sold for two 14assaria? And yet not one of them has gone unnoticed in the sight of God. 715But even the hairs of your head are all counted. 16Do not fear; you are more valuable than a great number of sparrows.

8“Now I say to you, everyone who 17confesses Me before people, the Son of Man will also confess him before the angels of God; 9but 18the one who denies Me before people will be denied 19before the angels of God.
