YOU ARE WORTH MORE THAN SPARROWS

²⁷ What I tell you in the dark, say in the light, and what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops. ²⁸ And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.^[a] 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny?^[b] And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. Matthew 10:27-29
