4 And I say to you, my friends, be ye not afeared of them that slay the body, and after these things have no more what they shall do.
5 But I shall show to you, whom ye shall dread; dread ye him, that after he hath slain, hath power to send into hell. And so I say to you, dread ye him. (But I shall tell you, whom ye should fear; fear him, who after he hath killed, hath power to send into hell. And so I tell you, fear him.)
6 Whether five sparrows be not sold for two halfpence or two farthings; and one of them is not in forgetting before God?
7 But also all the hairs of your head be numbered. Therefore do not ye dread; ye be of more price, than many sparrows, (or And so, do not fear; ye be of more value, than many sparrows).
8 Truly I say to you (or I tell you the truth), each man that acknowledgeth me before men, man’s Son shall acknowledge him before the angels of God.
9 But he that denieth me before men, shall be denied before the angels of God.
10 And each that saith a word against man’s Son or And each that saith a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven to him; but it shall not be forgiven to him, that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost (or who blasphemeth against the Holy Spirit).
11 And when they lead you into synagogues, and to magistrates, and potentates, do not ye be busy (or do not be concerned), how or what ye shall answer, or what ye shall say.
12 For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in that hour (or For the Holy Spirit shall teach you at that time), what it behooveth you to say.
13 And one of the people said to him, Master, say to my brother, that he part with me the heritage, (or Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me).
14 And he said to him, Man, who ordained me a doomsman or a parter, on you, or over you? (And he said to him, Man, who put me over you as a judge, or a divider?)
15 And he said to them, See ye, and beware of all covetousness; for the life of a man is not in the abundance of the things, which he wieldeth (or that he possesseth).
16 And he told to them a likeness (or a parable), and said, The field of a rich man brought forth plenteous fruits.
17 And he thought within himself, and said, What shall I do, for I have not whither I shall gather my fruits? (And he thought to himself, and said, What shall I do, for I have no place where I can store all my crops?)
18 And he saith, This thing I shall do; I shall throw down my barns, and I shall make greater (ones), and thither I shall gather all (the) things that grow to me (or and there I shall gather together all the things that grow for me), and (all) my goods.
