Luke 12:4-7
English Standard Version
Have No Fear
4 “I tell you, my friends, (A)do not fear those who kill the body, and after that have nothing more that they can do. 5 But I will warn you whom to fear: fear him (B)who, after he has killed, has authority to cast into hell.[a] Yes, I tell you, fear him! 6 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies?[b] And (C)not one of them is forgotten before God. 7 Why, (D)even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not; (E)you are of more value than many sparrows.

International Standard Version
Fear God(A)
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.”
