Luke 12:7 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Luke 12:7

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.
