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.
8 “And I tell you, everyone who acknowledges me before people, the Son of Man also will acknowledge him before the angels of God,
9 but the one who denies me before people will be denied before the angels of God.
10 And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him, but to the one who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven.
