Feare him, which after he hath kylled, hath power also to cast in to hell: Yee I saye vnto you: Feare him. 6 Are not fyue sparowes bought for two farthinges? Yet is not one of them forgotten before God. 7 The very hayres of youre heade also are nombred euery one. Feare not therfore, for ye are better then many sparowes. 8 I saye vnto you: Who so euer knowlegeth me before men, him shal the sonne of ma also knowlege before the angels of God: 9 But he that denyeth me before men, shalbe denyed before the angels of God. 10 And who so euer speaketh a worde agaynst the sonne of man, it shalbe forgeuen him: But who so blasphemeth the holy goost, it shal not be forgeuen him.
