Luke 12:5-15

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

6 "Are not ³five sparrows sold for two cents? Yet not one of them is forgotten before God.

7 "⁴Indeed *, 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 ⁵confesses Me before men, the Son of Man will confess him also before the angels of God;

9 but ⁶he who denies Me before men will be denied ⁷before the angels of God.

10 "⁸And everyone who speaks 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 ⁹the synagogues and the rulers and the authorities, do not ¹⁰worry about how or what you are to speak in your defense, or what you are to say;

12 for ¹¹the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say."

13 Someone in the crowd said to Him, "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the family inheritance with me."

14 But He said to him, "¹²Man, who appointed Me a judge or arbitrator over you?"

15 Then He said to them, "¹³Beware, and be on your guard against every form of greed; for not even when one has an abundance does his life consist of his possessions."
