Lukas 12:7

12:7 In fact, even the hairs on your head are all numbered. Do not be afraid; ¹  you are more valuable than many sparrows.

Lukas 21:18

21:18 Yet ²  not a hair of your head will perish. ³ 

[12:7]  ¹ sn Do not be afraid. One should respect and show reverence to God (v. 5), but need not fear his tender care.

[21:18]  ² tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “yet” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[21:18]  ³ sn Given v. 16, the expression not a hair of your head will perish must be taken figuratively and refer to living ultimately in the presence of God.
