Luke 12:9

ShameFaith

7 And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

8 I tell you, everyone who confesses Me before men, the Son of Man will also confess him before the angels of God.

But whoever denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.

10 And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.

11 When you are brought before synagogues, rulers, and authorities, do not worry about how to defend yourselves or what to say.
