Luke 12:2-13

21But 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 2whisperedG2980G4314G3775 in the innerG5009 roomsG5009 will be proclaimedG2784 on 3the housetopsG1430.

4“NowG1161 I sayG3004 to you, 4My 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: 5fearG5399 the One who, afterG3326 He has killedG615 someone, hasG2192 the powerG1849 to throwG1685 that person into 67hellG1067; yesG3483, I tellG3004 you, fearG5399 8Him! 6Are 9fiveG4002 sparrowsG4765 not soldG4453 for twoG1417 10assariaG787? And yet not oneG1520 of them has goneG1950 unnoticedG1950 inG1799 theG1799 sightG1799 ofG1799 GodG2316. 711But evenG2532 the hairsG2359 of your headG2776 are allG3956 countedG705. 12Do not fearG5399; you are moreG1308 valuableG1308 than a greatG4183 numberG4183 of sparrowsG4765.

8“NowG1161 I sayG3004 to you, everyoneG3956 whoG3739 13confessesG3670 Me beforeG1715 peopleG444, the SonG5207 of ManG444 will alsoG2532 confessG3670 him beforeG1715 the angelsG32 of GodG2316; 9but 14the one who deniesG720 Me beforeG1715 peopleG444 will be deniedG533 15beforeG1715 the angelsG32 of GodG2316. 1016And everyoneG3956 whoG3739 17speaksG3004 a wordG3056 againstG1519 the SonG5207 of ManG444, it will be forgivenG863 him; but the one who blasphemesG987 againstG1519 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151, it will not be forgivenG863 him. 11NowG1161 whenG3752 they bringG1533 you beforeG1909 18the synagoguesG4864 and the officialsG746 and the authoritiesG1849, do not 19worryG3309 aboutG3309 howG4459 orG2228 whatG5101 you are to speakG626 inG626 your defenseG626, orG2228 whatG5101 you are to sayG3004; 12for 20the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 will teachG1321 you in that veryG846 hourG5610 whatG3739 you oughtG1163 to sayG3004.”

13NowG1161 someoneG5100 21in the crowdG3793 saidG3004 to Him, “TeacherG1320, tellG3004 my brotherG80 to divideG3307 the family inheritanceG2817 with me.”
