Luke 12:2-9

^{Tools
2} ^(A)But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known. ^{Tools
3} Accordingly, whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have ^(a)whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed upon ^(B)the housetops.

^{Tools
4} “I say to you, ^(C)My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that have no more that they can do. ^{Tools
5} But I will ^(b)warn you whom to fear: ^(D)fear the One who, after He has killed, has authority to cast into ^(c)^(E)hell; yes, I tell you, fear Him! ^{Tools
6} Are not ^(F)five sparrows sold for two ^(d)cents? Yet not one of them is forgotten before God. ^{Tools
7} ^(G)Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear; you are more valuable than many sparrows.

^{Tools
8} “And I say to you, everyone who ^(H)confesses Me before men, the Son of Man will confess him also before the angels of God; ^{Tools
9} but ^(I)he who denies Me before men will be denied ^(J)before the angels of God.
