Fear Only God

12 At this time, after ^[a]so many thousands of the crowd had gathered together that they were trampling on one another, He began saying to His disciples first, “^(A)Be on your guard for the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. ^2 (B)But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known. ³ Accordingly, whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have ^[b]whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed upon ^(C)the housetops.

⁴ “But I say to you, ^(D)My friends, do not fear those who kill the body and after that have no more that they can do. ⁵ But I will show you whom to fear: ^(E)fear the One who, after He has killed, has authority to cast into ^[c](F)hell; yes, I tell you, fear Him! ⁶ Are not ^(G)five sparrows sold for two ^[d]assaria? Yet not one of them is forgotten before God. ^7 (H)Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear; you are more valuable than many sparrows.
