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.

Luke 12:4-7
New Living Translation
4 “Dear friends, don’t be afraid of those who want to kill your body; they cannot do any more to you after that. 5 But I’ll tell you whom to fear. Fear God, who has the power to kill you and then throw you into hell.[a] Yes, he’s the one to fear.
6 “What is the price of five sparrows—two copper coins[b]? Yet God does not forget a single one of them. 7 And the very hairs on your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are more valuable to God than a whole flock of sparrows.
