Luke 12:4-7

Have No Fear

4 "I tell you, my friends, a do not fear those who kill the body, and after that have nothing more that they can do. 5 But I will warn you whom to fear: fear him b who, after he has killed, has authority to cast into hell. 1 Yes, I tell you, fear him! 6 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? 2 And c not one of them is forgotten before God. 7 Why, d even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not; e you are of more value than many sparrows.
