WHICH version best explains KJV?
Despite the slight variations, you get the idea.
GOD has authority over EVERYTHING.
Everything is PRECIOUS in His eyes.
Why does this verse matter?
Because of what GOD said afterwards:
Matthew 10:30-31
King James Version
30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
31 Fear ye not therefore,
ye are of more value than many sparrows.
Such is GOD's love for His creation.
ESPECIALLY for man.
