Luke 12:4-7
Christian Standard Bible
Fear God
4 “I say to you, my friends,(A) don’t fear(B) those who kill the body, and after that can do nothing more. 5 But I will show you the one to fear: Fear(C) him who has authority to throw people into hell(D) after death. Yes, I say to you, this is the one to fear! 6 Aren’t five sparrows sold for two pennies?[a] Yet not one of them is forgotten in God’s sight.(E) 7 Indeed, the hairs of your head are all counted. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

4 “But I tell you, my friends, never be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can’t do anything more. 5 I’ll show you the one you should be afraid of. Be afraid of the one who has the authority to throw you into hell[a] after killing you. Yes, I tell you, be afraid of him!
6 “Five sparrows are sold for two pennies, aren’t they? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. 7 Why, even all the hairs on your head have been counted! Stop being afraid. You are worth more than a bunch of sparrows.”
