5But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. Many Bible Versions
6Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? Many Bible Versions
7But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows. Many Bible Versions
8Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God: Many Bible Versions
9But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God. Many Bible Versions

35Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning; Many Bible Versions
36And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately. Many Bible Versions
