Luke 12:2-9

2Nothing is hidden that will not be revealed, and nothing is secret that will not be made known.

3So then whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in private rooms will be proclaimed from the housetops.

4“I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have nothing more they can do.

5But I will warn you whom you should fear: Fear the one who, after the killing, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him!

6Aren’t five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten before God.

7In fact, even the hairs on your head are all numbered. Do not be afraid; you are more valuable than many sparrows.

8“I tell you, whoever acknowledges me before men, the Son of Man will also acknowledge before God’s angels.

9But the one who denies me before men will be denied before God’s angels.
