4But I say to you, my friends, Fear not those who kill the body and after this have no more that they can do.
5But I will shew you whom ye shall fear: Fear him who after he has killed has authority to cast into hell; yea, I say to you, Fear him.
6Are not five sparrows sold for two assaria? and one of them is not forgotten before God.
7But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore, ye are better than many sparrows.
8But I say to you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, the Son of man will confess him also before the angels of God;
9but he that shall have denied me before men shall be denied before the angels of God;
10and whoever shall say a word against the Son of man it shall be forgiven him; but to him that speaks injuriously against the Holy Spirit it shall not be forgiven.
11But when they bring you before the synagogues and rulers and the authorities, be not careful how or what ye shall answer, or what ye shall say;
12for the Holy Spirit shall teach you in the hour itself what should be said.
13And a person said to him out of the crowd, Teacher, speak to my brother to divide the inheritance with me.
14But he said to him, Man, who established me as a judge or a divider over you?
15And he said to them, Take heed and keep yourselves from all covetousness, for it is not because a man is in abundance that his life is in his possessions.
16And he spoke a parable to them, saying, The land of a certain rich man brought forth abundantly.
17And he reasoned within himself saying, What shall I do? for I have not a place where I shall lay up my fruits.
18And he said, This will I do: I will take away my granaries and build greater, and there I will lay up all my produce and my good things;
19and I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much good things laid by for many years; repose thyself, eat, drink, be merry.
20But God said to him, Fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee; and whose shall be what thou hast prepared?
21Thus is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
