'Value' in the Bible
Behold the birds of the heaven, that they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are not ye of much more value then they?
Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
How much then is a man of more value than a sheep! Wherefore it is lawful to do good on the sabbath day.
But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
Consider the ravens, that they sow not, neither reap; which have no store-chamber nor barn; and God feedeth them: of how much more value are ye than the birds!
Which things have indeed a show of wisdom in will-worship, and humility, and severity to the body; but are not of any value against the indulgence of the flesh.
