Luke 12:2-7

^2 (A) Everything that is hidden will be found out, and every secret will be known. ³ Whatever you say in the dark will be heard when it is day. Whatever you whisper in a closed room will be shouted from the housetops.

The One To Fear

(Matthew 10.28-31)

^4 (B) My friends, don't be afraid of people. They can kill you, but after that, there is nothing else they can do. ⁵ God is the one you must fear. Not only can he take your life, but he can throw you into hell. God is certainly the one you should fear!

⁶ Five sparrows are sold for only a few cents, but God doesn't forget a single one of them. ⁷ Even the hairs on your head are counted. So don't be afraid! You are worth much more than many sparrows.
