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 on 3the housetops.

4“Now I say to you, 4My 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: 5fear the One who, after He has killed someone, has the power to throw that person into 67hell; yes, I tell you, fear 8Him! 6Are 9five sparrows not sold for two 10assaria? And yet not one of them has gone unnoticed in the sight of God. 711But even the hairs of your head are all counted. 12Do not fear; you are more valuable than a great number of sparrows.

8“Now I say to you, everyone who 13confesses Me before people, the Son of Man will also confess him before the angels of God; 9but 14the one who denies Me before people will be denied 15before the angels of God. 1016And everyone who 17speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but the one who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him. 11Now when they bring you before 18the synagogues and the officials and the authorities, do not 19worry about how or what you are to speak in your defense, or what you are to say; 12for 20the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say.”
