Luke 12:6-12

English Standard Version

⁶ Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies?^[a] And ^(A)not one of them is forgotten before God. ⁷ Why, ^(B)even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not; ^(C)you are of more value than many sparrows.

Acknowledge Christ Before Men

⁸ “And I tell you, ^(D)everyone who acknowledges me before men, the Son of Man also will acknowledge ^(E)before the angels of God, ⁹ but ^(F)the one who denies me before men ^(G)will be denied ^(H)before the angels of God. ¹⁰ And ^(I)everyone who speaks a word ^(J)against the Son of Man ^(K)will be forgiven, but the one who ^(L)blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. ^11 (M)And when they ^(N)bring you before the synagogues and ^(O)the rulers and ^(P)the authorities, ^(Q)do not be anxious about how you should defend yourself or what you should say, ^12 (R)for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say.”
