Luke 12:2–12

²“^aBut there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known.

³“Accordingly, whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have ¹whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed upon ^athe housetops.

⁴“I say to you, ^aMy friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that have no more that they can do.

⁵“But I will ¹warn you whom to fear: ^afear the One who, after He has killed, has authority to cast into ^2bhell; yes, I tell you, fear Him!

⁶“Are not ^afive sparrows sold for two ¹cents? Yet not one of them is forgotten before God.

⁷“^aIndeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear; you are more valuable than many sparrows.

⁸“And I say to you, everyone who ^aconfesses Me before men, the Son of Man will confess him also before the angels of God;

⁹but ^ahe who denies Me before men will be denied ^bbefore the angels of God.

¹⁰“^aAnd everyone who ¹speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him.

¹¹“When they bring you before ^athe synagogues and the rulers and the authorities, do not ^bworry about how or what you are to speak in your defense, or what you are to say;

¹²for ^athe Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say.”
