New English Translation
7 In fact, even the hairs on your head are all numbered. Do not be afraid;[a] you are more valuable than many sparrows.

- Luke 12:7 sn This represents the second call by Jesus not to be afraid in the section (previously in v. 4). Since the previous reference was related to fear of persecution, it is probable that this one does as well. Once again the sparrows are mentioned and the argument is from lesser to greater (if God cares about individual hairs on the head and about sparrows, how much more does he care about people).
