누가복음 12장 4-7절

  "내 친구인 너희에게 내가 말한다. 육신은 죽여도 그 다음에는 그 이상 아무것도 할 수 없는 자들을 두려워하지 말아라. 너희가 누구를 두려워해야 할지를 내가 보여 주겠다. 죽인 다음에 지옥에 던질 권세를 가지신 분을 두려워하여라. 그렇다. 내가 너희에게 말한다. 그분을 두려워하여라. 참새 다섯 마리가 두 냥에 팔리지 않느냐? 그러나 그 가운데 하나라도, 하나님께서는 잊고 계시지 않는다. 하나님께서는 너희 머리카락까지도 다 세고 계신다. 두려워하지 말아라. 너희는 많은 참새보다 더 귀하다." _새번역성경

そこでわたしの 友であるあなたがたに 言うが， からだを 殺しても， そのあとでそれ 以上なにもできない 者どもを 恐れるな．恐るべき 者がだれであるか， 敎えてあげよう． 殺したあとで， 更に 地獄に 投げ込む 権威のあるかたを 恐れなさい． そうだ， あなたがたに 言っておくが， そのかたを 恐れなさい．五羽のすずめは 二 アサリオンで 売られているではないか． しかも， その 一羽も 神のみまえで 忘れられてはいない．その 上， あなたがたの 頭の 毛までも， みな 数えられている． 恐れることはない． あなたがたは 多くのすずめよりも， まさった 者である．_口語訳

"I say to you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that have no more that they can do. "But I will warn you whom to fear: fear the One who, after He has killed, has authority to cast into hell; yes, I tell you, fear Him! "Are not five sparrows sold for two cents? Yet not one of them is forgotten before God. "Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear; you are more valuable than many sparrows._NASB

“I’m speaking to you as dear friends. Don’t be bluffed into silence or insincerity by the threats of religious bullies. True, they can kill you, but then what can they do? There’s nothing they can do to your soul, your core being. Save your fear for God, who holds your entire life—body and soul—in his hands. “What’s the price of two or three pet canaries? Some loose change, right? But God never overlooks a single one. And he pays even greater attention to you, down to the last detail—even numbering the hairs on your head! So don’t be intimidated by all this bully talk. You’re worth more than a million canaries._The Message
