And not one of them is forgotten in the sight of God. 7But even the hairs of your head are all numbered! Do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

But I’ll tell you whom to fear. Fear God, who has the power to kill you and then throw you into hell. Yes, he’s the one to fear.

Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
