4. I tell you, My friends, do not dread and be afraid of those who kill the body and after that have nothing more that they can do.
5. But I will warn you whom you should fear: fear Him Who, after killing, has power to hurl into hell (Gehenna); yes, I say to you, fear Him!
6. Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And [yet] not one of them is forgotten or uncared for in the presence of God.
7. But [even] the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not be struck with fear or seized with alarm; you are of greater worth than many [flocks] of sparrows.
8. And I tell you, Whoever declares openly [speaking out freely] and confesses that he is My worshiper and acknowledges Me before men, the Son of Man also will declare and confess and acknowledge him before the angels of God.
