Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
μὴ & φοβεῖσθε; πολλῶν στρουθίων διαφέρετε ὑμεῖς
not & /be/_fearing many sparrows /are/_carrying_value_‹than› you_all
The implication is that if God is aware of and concerned for sparrows, which are of less value, then God is certainly aware of and concerned for people, who are of greater value. And so followers of Jesus do not need to be afraid, since God is watching over them. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [since you are more valuable than many sparrows, God is certainly even more aware of you and concerned for you, and so you do not need to fear]
Note 2 topic: translate-unknown
στρουθίων
sparrows
Translate this word as you did in 10:29. Alternate translation: [small birds]
10:29-31 Because God cares about every sparrow, and because Jesus’ disciples are much more valuable, certainly the disciples need not fear—God will providentially care for them.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
