Luke 12:1-7

1UnderG1722 theseG3739 circumstancesG1722, after 1so manyG3461 thousandsG3461 of 2peopleG3793 had gatheredG1996 togetherG1996 that they were steppingG2662 onG2662 oneG240 anotherG240, He beganG757 sayingG3004 to His disciplesG3101 firstG4413 of all, “3BewareG4337G1438 of the 4leavenG2219 of the PhariseesG5330, whichG3748 is hypocrisyG5272. 25But there is nothingG3762 coveredG4780 upG4780 that will not be revealedG601, and hiddenG2927 that will not be knownG1097. 3AccordinglyG473G3739, whateverG3745 you have saidG3004 in the darkG4653 will be heardG191 in the lightG5457, and whatG3739 you have 6whisperedG2980G4314G3775 in the innerG5009 roomsG5009 will be proclaimedG2784 on 7the housetopsG1430.

4“NowG1161 I sayG3004 to you, 8My friendsG5384, do not beG5399 afraidG5399 of thoseG3588 who killG615 the bodyG4983, and afterG3326 that haveG2192 nothingG3361G5100 moreG4053 that they can doG4160. 5But I will warnG5263 you whomG5101 to fearG5399: 9fearG5399 the One who, afterG3326 He has killedG615 someone, hasG2192 the powerG1849 to throwG1685 that person into 1011hellG1067; yesG3483, I tellG3004 you, fearG5399 12Him! 6Are 13fiveG4002 sparrowsG4765 not soldG4453 for twoG1417 14assariaG787? And yet not oneG1520 of them has goneG1950 unnoticedG1950 inG1799 theG1799 sightG1799 ofG1799 GodG2316. 715But evenG2532 the hairsG2359 of your headG2776 are allG3956 countedG705. 16Do not fearG5399; you are moreG1308 valuableG1308 than a greatG4183 numberG4183 of sparrowsG4765.
