Luke 12:5-12
English Standard Version
Chapter 12
5But I will warn you whom to fear: fear him who, after he has killed, has authority to cast into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him! 6Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And not one of them is forgotten before God. 7Why, even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not; you are of more value than many sparrows.
8"And I tell you, everyone who acknowledges me before men, the Son of Man also will acknowledge before the angels of God,
9but the one who denies me before men will be denied before the angels of God.
10And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but the one who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
11And when they bring you before the synagogues and the rulers and the authorities, do not be anxious about how you should defend yourself or what you should say,
12for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say."
