'Valuable' in the Bible

Look at the birds in the sky: They do not sow, or reap, or gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren't you more valuable than they are?

So do not be afraid; you are more valuable than many sparrows.

How much more valuable is a person than a sheep! So it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath."

In fact, even the hairs on your head are all numbered. Do not be afraid; you are more valuable than many sparrows.

Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn, yet God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than the birds!

For "physical exercise has some value, but godliness is valuable in every way. It holds promise for the present life and for the life to come."

Such trials show the proven character of your faith, which is much more valuable than gold -- gold that is tested by fire, even though it is passing away -- and will bring praise and glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.
