Luke 12:4-7
English Standard Version
Have No Fear
4 “I tell you, my friends, (A)do not fear those who kill the body, and after that have nothing more that they can do. 5 But I will warn you whom to fear: fear him (B)who, after he has killed, has authority to cast into hell.[a] Yes, I tell you, fear him! 6 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies?[b] And (C)not one of them is forgotten before God. 7 Why, (D)even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not; (E)you are of more value than many sparrows.

Luke 12:4-7
Common English Bible
4 “I tell you, my friends, don’t be terrified by those who can kill the body but after that can do nothing more. 5 I’ll show you whom you should fear: fear the one who, after you have been killed, has the authority to throw you into hell. Indeed, I tell you, that’s the one you should fear. 6 Aren’t five sparrows sold for two small coins?[a] Yet not one of them is overlooked by God. 7 Even the hairs on your head are all counted. Don’t be afraid. You are worth more than many sparrows.
