And not a [single] one of them can fall to the ground without your Father [knowing about it]. God even knows the number of hairs on your head [Note: The average full head of hair has approximately 25,000 hairs]. So, do not be afraid, for you are [much] more valuable than many sparrows.

[So], do not be afraid, for you are [much] more valuable than many sparrows.
