Jesus Teaches the Fear of God

4 a“And I say to you, bMy friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.  
5 But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear Him who, after He has killed, has power to cast into hell; yes, I say to you, afear Him!  
6 “Are not five sparrows sold for two1 copper coins? And anot one of them is forgotten before God.  
7 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.

Confess Christ Before Men

8 a“Also I say to you, whoever confesses Me bbefore men, him the Son of Man also will confess before the angels of God.  
9 But he who adenies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.

Luke 12:6

Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings? - See this explained on Matthew 10:29 (note), from which place we learn that two sparrows were sold for one farthing, and here; that five were sold for two farthings: thus we find a certain proportion - for one farthing you could get but two, while for two farthings you could get five.
