⁶ Because in Christ Jesus, having circumcision or not having circumcision are equally of no profit; but only faith working through love.

²⁹ Are not sparrows two a farthing? and not one of them comes to an end without your Father:

³⁰ But the hairs of your head are all numbered.

³¹ Then have no fear; you are of more value than a flock of sparrows.

³² To everyone, then, who gives witness to me before men, I will give witness before my Father in heaven.

¹² Of how much more value is a man than a sheep! For this reason it is right to do good on the Sabbath day.

³ Let not mercy and good faith go from you; let them be hanging round your neck, recorded on your heart;

⁴ So you will have grace and a good name in the eyes of God and men.

⁵ Put all your hope in God, not looking to your reason for support.

²⁰ The tongue of the upright man is like tested silver: the heart of the evil-doer is of little value.

⁴ Because of your value in my eyes, you have been honoured, and loved by me; so I will give men for you, and peoples for your life.

⁶ Are not five sparrows given in exchange for two farthings? and God has every one of them in mind.

⁷ But even the hairs of your head are numbered. Have no fear: you are of more value than a flock of sparrows.

⁸ And I say to you that to everyone who gives witness to me before men, the Son of man will give witness before the angels of God.

¹ Up! let your face be bright, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord is shining on you.

¹⁰ Who may make discovery of a woman of virtue? For her price is much higher than jewels.

²⁴ But I put no value on my life, if only at the end of it I may see the work complete which was given to me by the Lord Jesus, to be a witness of the good news of the grace of God.

²⁶ See the birds of heaven; they do not put seeds in the earth, they do not get in grain, or put it in store-houses; and your Father in heaven gives them food. Are you not of much more value than they?
