Luke 12:4-7

Fear God Rather Than People

4 "And I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after these [things] do not have anything more to do.

5 But I will show you whom you should fear: fear the one who has authority, after the killing, to throw [you] into hell! Yes, I tell you, fear this one!

6 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And not one of them is forgotten in the sight of God.

7 But even the hairs of your head are all numbered! Do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
