Luke 12:6
King James Version
28 Jul 2026
“Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?”
οὐχί
Not indeed, certainly not. Ouchí. This intensified negation appears in moments of sharp contrast and rhetorical clarity. God's purposes are never ambiguous. Let the yes be yes, and the no mean no.
πέντε
five
Expand ↓
πέντε
Five. Pénte. The number appears throughout Scripture in moments of provision and testing: five loaves feeding thousands, five wise virgins ready, five foolish ones not. What you have in hand is never too little if surrendered.
