4 “I say to you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that can do no more.
5 But I will warn you whom you shall fear: Fear Him who, after He has killed, has power to cast into hell. Yes, I say to you, fear Him.
6 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.
7 Indeed, even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Therefore do not fear. You are more valuable than many sparrows.
8 “I say to you, whoever confesses Me before men, him will the Son of Man also confess before the angels of God.
9 But he who denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.
10 And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
