Luke 12:4-12

Legacy Standard Bible

⁴ “But I say to you, ^(A)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: ^(B)fear the One who, after He has killed, has authority to cast into ^[a](C)hell; yes, I tell you, fear Him! ⁶ Are not ^(D)five sparrows sold for two ^[b]assaria? Yet not one of them is forgotten before God. ^7 (E)Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear; you are more valuable than many sparrows.

Blasphemy Against the Holy Spirit

⁸ “And I say to you, everyone who ^(F)confesses Me before men, the Son of Man will confess him also before the angels of God, ⁹ but ^(G)he who denies Me before men will be denied ^(H)before the angels of God. ^10 (I)And everyone who ^[c]speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him, but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him. ¹¹ Now when they bring you before ^(J)the synagogues and the rulers and the authorities, do not ^(K)worry about how or what you are to speak in your defense, or what you are to say, ¹² for ^(L)the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say.”
