Luke 12:5 Context
3Therefore, whatsoeuer yee haue spoken in darkenesse, shall bee heard in the light: and that which yee haue spoken in the eare, in closets, shal be proclaimed vpon the house tops. 4And I say vnto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that, haue no more that they can doe. 5But I will forewarne you whom you shall feare: Feare him, which after he hath killed, hath power to cast into hell, yea, I say vnto you, Feare him. 6Are not fiue sparrowes solde for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? 7But euen the very haires of your head are all numbred: Feare not therefore, ye are of more value then many sparrowes.
