Nehemiah 6:11

11But I said, “Should such a man as I run away? And what man such as I could go into the temple and live? ▼
▼Or would go into the temple to save his life
 I will not go in.”

Psalms 11:1-2

The Lord Is in His Holy Temple

To the choirmaster. Of David.

1 In the Lord I take refuge;
how can you say to my soul,
b“Flee like a bird to your mountain,
 2for behold, the wicked cbend the bow;
dthey have fitted their arrow to the string
to shoot in the dark at the upright in heart;

Matthew 10:28-33

28And edo not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him fwho can destroy both soul and body in hell. ▼
▼Greek Gehenna
 29Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? ▼
▼Greek assarion, Roman copper coin (Latin quadrans) worth about 1/16 of a denarius (which was a day’s wage for a laborer)
 And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. 30But ieven the hairs of your head are all numbered. 31Fear not, therefore; jyou are of more value than many sparrows. 32 kSo everyone who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven, 33but lwhoever denies me before men, mI also will deny before my Father who is in heaven.

Luke 12:4-9

Have No Fear

4“I tell you, my friends, ndo not fear those who kill the body, and after that have nothing more that they can do. 5But I will warn you whom to fear: fear him owho, after he has killed, has authority to cast into hell. ▼
▼Greek Gehenna
 Yes, I tell you, fear him! 6Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? ▼
▼Greek  two assaria; an assarion was a Roman copper coin worth about 1/16 of a denarius (which was a day’s wage for a laborer)
 And rnot one of them is forgotten before God. 7Why, seven the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not; tyou are of more value than many sparrows.

Acknowledge Christ Before Men

8“And I tell you, ueveryone who acknowledges me before men, the Son of Man also will acknowledge vbefore the angels of God, 9but wthe one who denies me before men xwill be denied ybefore the angels of God.

Acts 4:18-19

18So they called them and charged them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus. 19But Peter and John answered them, z“Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, you must judge,

Acts 4:29

29And now, Lord, aalook upon their threats and grant to your servants ▼
