Luke 12:1-9 ▼

1 In the meantime, myriads of the multitude having gathered together, So that they trode on one another, He began to speak to His disciples first; Take heed unto yourselves from the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

2 But there is nothing hidden, which shall not be revealed: and concealed, that shall not be made known.

3 Therefore so many things as you spoke in the darkness shall be heard in the light; and whatsoever you spoke in the ear in the secret chambers shall be proclaimed upon the houses.

4 And I say unto you, my friends, Be not afraid of those killing the body, and after these things, having nothing more to do.

5 But I will show you whom you must fear: Fear him, who after he kills has power to cast into hell. Yea, I say unto you, Fear him.

6 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? and one of them is not forgotten before God.

7 But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not: ye are more important than many sparrows.

8 But I say unto you, that every one who may confess me before the people, the Son of man will also confess him before the angels of God.

9 But the one denying me before the people will be denied before the angels of God.
