“Now I say to you, (A)My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have nothing more that they can do. But I will warn you whom to fear: (B)fear the One who, after He has killed someone, has the power to throw that person into [a](C)hell; yes, I tell you, fear [b]Him! 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.
