Luke 12:8-12

Acknowledge Christ Before Men

8 “And I tell you, ¹everyone who acknowledges me before men, the Son of Man also will acknowledge ²before the angels of God,

9 but ³the one who denies me before men ⁴will be denied ⁵before the angels of God.

10 And ⁶everyone who speaks a word ⁷against the Son of Man ⁸will be forgiven, but the one who ⁹blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.

11 ¹⁰And when they ¹¹bring you before the synagogues and ¹²the rulers and ¹³the authorities, ¹⁴do not be anxious about how you should defend yourself or what you should say,

12 ¹⁵for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say. ”
