Luke 12:8-12

English Standard Version

Acknowledge Christ Before Men

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