“Now I say to you, (A)My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have nothing more that they can do. But I will warn you whom to fear: (B)fear the One who, after He has killed someone, has the power to throw that person into [a](C)hell; yes, I tell you, fear [b]Him! Are (D)five sparrows not sold for two [c]assaria? And yet not one of them has gone unnoticed in the sight of God. (E)But even the hairs of your head are all counted. [d]Do not fear; you are more valuable than a great number of sparrows.

“Now I say to you, everyone who (F)confesses Me before people, the Son of Man will also confess him before the angels of God; but (G)the one who denies Me before people will be denied (H)before the angels of God. 10 (I)And everyone who [e]speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but the one who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him.
