29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny?*And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father.30 But *even the hairs of your head are all numbered.31 Fear not, therefore; *you are of more value than many sparrows.

12 *Of how much more value is a man than a sheep! So *it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath."

6 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies?*And *not one of them is forgotten before God.7 Why, *even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not; *you are of more value than many sparrows.

26 *Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. *Are you not of more value than they?

4 Because you are precious in my eyes,

and honored, and I love you,

I give men in return for you,

peoples in exchange for your life.

5 Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be *my treasured possession among all peoples, for *all the earth is mine;

1 *Arise, shine, for your light has come,

and *the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.

6 For in Christ Jesus *neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but *only faith working through love.

3 Let not *steadfast love and *faithfulness forsake you;

*bind them around your neck;

*write them on the tablet of your heart.

4 So you will *find favor and *good success*

in the sight of God and man.

20 The tongue of the righteous is *choice silver;

the heart of the wicked is of little worth.

10 **An excellent wife who can find?

She is far more precious than *jewels.

24 But *I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only *I may finish my course and *the ministry *that I received from the Lord Jesus, *to testify to *the gospel of *the grace of God.
