Fear God

“I say to you, my friends,(A) don’t fear(B) those who kill the body, and after that can do nothing more. 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! Aren’t five sparrows sold for two pennies?[a] Yet not one of them is forgotten in God’s sight.(E) Indeed, the hairs of your head are all counted. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

Are (D)five sparrows not sold for two [c]assaria? And yet not one of them has gone unnoticed in the sight of God. (E)But even the hairs of your head are all counted. [d]Do not fear; you are more valuable than a great number of sparrows.
