Luke 12:4-18

⁴And I say to you, my friends, Have no fear of those who may put the body to death, and are able to do no more than that.

⁵But I will make clear to you of whom you are to be in fear: of him who after death has power to send you to hell; yes, truly I say, Have fear of him.

⁶Are not five sparrows given in exchange for two farthings? and God has every one of them in mind.

⁷But even the hairs of your head are numbered. Have no fear: you are of more value than a flock of sparrows.

⁸And I say to you that to everyone who gives witness to me before men, the Son of man will give witness before the angels of God.

⁹But if anyone says before men that he has no knowledge of me, I will say that I have no knowledge of him before the angels of God.

¹⁰And if anyone says a word against the Son of man, he will have forgiveness: but for him who says evil words against the Holy Spirit, there will be no forgiveness.

¹¹And when they take you before the Synagogues and the authorities and the rulers, take no thought about what answers you will give, or what you will say:

¹²For the Holy Spirit will make clear to you in that very hour what to say.

¹³And one of the people said to him, Master, give an order to my brother to make division of the heritage with me.

¹⁴But he said, Man, who made me a judge or a maker of decisions for you?

¹⁵And he said to them, Take care to keep yourselves free from the desire for property; for a man's life is not made up of the number of things which he has.

¹⁶And he said to them, in a story, The land of a certain man of great wealth was very fertile:

¹⁷And he said to himself, What is to be done? for I have no place in which to put all my fruit.

¹⁸And he said, This I will do: I will take down my store-houses and make greater ones, and there I will put all my grain and my goods.
