Luke 12:1-7 ▼

1 At which time the myriads of the multitude having been gathered together, so as to tread on one another, He began to say to His disciples, first, “Take heed to yourselves of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy;

2 and there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hid that will not be known;

3 because whatever you said in the darkness will be heard in the light, and what you spoke to the ear in the inner-chambers will be proclaimed on the housetops.

4 And I say to you, my friends, do not be afraid of those killing the body, and after these things are not having anything more to do;

5 but I will show to you whom you may fear: fear Him who, after the killing, is having authority to cast into Gehenna; yes, I say to you, fear Him.

6 Are not five sparrows sold for two assaria? And one of them is not forgotten before God,

7 but even the hairs of your head have all been numbered; therefore do not fear, you are of more value than many sparrows.
